New description:

 When using Sum() on a BooleanField when only 1 record is present, the ORM
 returns True/False rather than 1/0. I've tested with MySQL and SQLite,
 only MySQL exhibits the bug.

 This is a change in behavior from previous versions of Django where a
 Decimal would be returned.

 Environment:
 MySQL - 5.6.24
 MySQL-python==1.2.5

 Code to reproduce (new project / app):

 {{{
 class Example(models.Model):
     foo = models.BooleanField(default=True)
 }}}

 Simple query to demonstrate the difference:

 {{{
 # add a single row
 a = Example()
 a.save()

 # query
 Example.objects.all().aggregate(count=Count('foo'), sum=Sum('foo'))

 # results
 # notice Django 1.8 + MySQL
 Django 1.7.7 + MySQL
 {'count': 1, 'sum': Decimal('1')}

 Django 1.7.7 + SQLite
 {'count': 1, 'sum': 1}

 Django 1.8 + MySQL
 {'count': 1, 'sum': True}

 Django 1.8 + SQLite
 {'count': 1, 'sum': 1}

 # add a second row
 a = Example()
 a.save()

 # query
 Example.objects.all().aggregate(count=Count('foo'), sum=Sum('foo'))

 # results
 # notice Django 1.8 + MySQL now returns a decimal
 Django 1.7.7 + MySQL
 {'count': 2, 'sum': Decimal('2')}

 Django 1.7.7 + SQLite
 {'count': 2, 'sum': 2}

 Django 1.8 + MySQL
 {'count': 2, 'sum': Decimal('2')}

 Django 1.8 + SQLite
 {'count': 2, 'sum': 2}
 }}}
