ActiveRecord queries with :includes do not respect :with_deleted => true

[moottoast]

I can't see a way around the N+1 problem without using :includes in my Active Record queries. Per the documentation:

class ParanoiacParent < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :children, :class_name => "ParanoiacChild"
end

class ParanoiacChild < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :parent, :class_name => "ParanoiacParent"
    belongs_to :parent_with_deleted, :class_name => "ParanoiacParent", :with_deleted => true
end

However if the following is called in a controller:

@paranoiac_children = ParanoiacChild.includes(:parent_with_deleted).all

The log load statement shows a "('paranoiac_parents'.'deleted_at' IS NULL)" in the WHERE clause resulting in undefined method errors. I guess I'm forced to avoid using :includes. Is this behavior by design?

It doesn't work for me also. I don't get undefined method error but it just ignores the "with_deleted" option.
I used a temporary dirty hack to get it working:

@projects = current_user.projects.includes(:users,:stages).where("users.deleted_at IS NOT NULL or users.deleted_at IS NULL")
