Hm, could we see a self-contained example, ie with the underlying table/view definitions too? Probably don't need any sample data for this type of problem, but I'm unexcited about trying to reverse- engineer your table definitions enough to reproduce the problem.

I'm wondering why this didn't already fail at "counts.count", because with the "AS howmany" in place, that sub-select isn't returning any column named "count". I kind of suspect user error due to ambiguous column names, but the details aren't obvious.
