If you call `distinct()` for a `ReferenceField`, it returns a list of `DBRef` rather than dereferencing the objects.

class Foo(Document):
bar = ReferenceField("Bar")

class Bar(Document):
text = StringField()

bar = Bar(text="hi")
bar.save()

foo = Foo(bar=bar)
foo.save()

print Foo.objects.distinct("bar") # -> [DBRef(u'bar', ObjectId('4ebd8d8477adbf4bfb000002'))]
