    Description

      With the test case below, the first query produces 3 rows, which I believe to be the correct result:

      SELECT * FROM iso_code LEFT JOIN ( city LEFT JOIN country ON city.country_code  = country.code ) ON iso_code.alpha3 = country.code ;
      alpha3	country_code	name	code	name
      USA	USA	Austin	USA	United States
      USA	USA	Boston	USA	United States
      CAN	NULL	NULL	NULL	NULL

      But the second query, which only differs from the previous one by the select list, produces two rows:

      SELECT iso_code.alpha3 FROM iso_code LEFT JOIN ( city LEFT JOIN country ON city.country_code  = country.code ) ON iso_code.alpha3 = country.code ;
      alpha3
      USA
      CAN

      Reproducible on MariaDB 5.1 from the beginning of time (tried 5.1.42), 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 10.0.
      Not reproducible on MySQL 5.1, 5.5, 5.6.

      --source include/have_innodb.inc
       
      CREATE TABLE iso_code (alpha3 VARCHAR(3)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
      INSERT INTO iso_code VALUES ('USA'),('CAN');
       
      CREATE TABLE city ( country_code VARCHAR(3), name VARCHAR(64)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
      INSERT INTO city VALUES ('USA','Austin'),('USA','Boston');
       
      CREATE TABLE country ( code VARCHAR(3),  name VARCHAR(64),  PRIMARY KEY (code),  UNIQUE KEY (name)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
      INSERT INTO country VALUES ('CAN','Canada'),('USA','United States');
       
      SELECT * FROM iso_code LEFT JOIN ( city LEFT JOIN country ON city.country_code  = country.code ) ON iso_code.alpha3 = country.code ;
      SELECT iso_code.alpha3 FROM iso_code LEFT JOIN ( city LEFT JOIN country ON city.country_code  = country.code ) ON iso_code.alpha3 = country.code ;
       
       
      DROP TABLE iso_code, city, country;

      EXPLAIN:
