Comment (by romanb):

 You are right, thats mainly a problem of the current DQL parser which is
 far from accurate when it comes to accepting/declining certain input.
 If you're interested in what is on the agenda for hydration & DQL in 2.0
 this might interest you: http://trac.phpdoctrine.org/wiki/NewHydration

 Although 2.0 is far away we plan to backport the scalar hydration modes to
 1.0. But the special SCALAR() DQL function will most likely not be
 backported.
 So in 2.0 you will be able to do sth like this: select scalar(up.name)
 up_name ... The resulting scalar value will not be put into any objects
 however, as you can see in the link above.
