the Oracle dialect has to run complex gymnastics to get the effect of
LIMIT in rewriting the query, so that is likely failing with a query
that has a CTE inside of it as the CTE feature is not widely used with
Oracle and we haven't put development resources into these cases.
For now I'd avoid any use of limit/offset.   first() is documented as
using limit in the tutorial:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/tutorial.html#returning-lists-and-scalars
  Use all()[0] instead for a query like this.
