This is a design lapse - we married distinct with group_by too early
in the code and what you are seeing is the fallout (i.e. distinct
applies to all columns not just the ones you are trying to select).
I will have to discuss this with the rest of the developers before
we solve it, but for the time being simply change

        distinct => 1

to

        group_by => [ qw/me.id/ ]

The prefetch will keep working as expected.

Cheers
