Consider the following example:

CREATE TABLE t1(x);
CREATE TABLE t2(y);
SELECT max((SELECT avg(x) FROM t2)) FROM t1;

With sqlite 3.7.11 NULL is returned, while with sqlite 3.7.13 an error "Misuse of 
aggregate: avg()" is returned.
Any thought?

3.7.11 had a bug, 3.7.13 fixed it. Your query is invalid, t2 doesn't
have column named x.

But t1 does, and a nested select should be able to access it. I don't see why an aggregate function can't be applied to any expression, even one that happens to be constant across all rows of the table.

I don't understand what makes this query invalid. Pointless, yes, but why invalid?
