Query on table with empty partition keys doesn't return any result after upgrade to 3.25.0

Which service(blob, file, queue, table) does this issue concern?

Table

Which version of the Azurite was used?

3.25.0

Where do you get Azurite? (npm, DockerHub, NuGet, Visual Studio Code Extension)

npm

What's the Node.js version?

20.2.0

What problem was encountered?

Executing QueryAsync on TableClient doesn't return the expected entity when PartitionKey is set to an empty string. This works with the previous Azurite version 3.24.0. Using Nuget package Azure.Data.Tables in version 12.8.0

Steps to reproduce the issue?

The C# code below is inserting an entity with empty PartitionKey. Getting the entity by PartitionKey and RowKey works but filtering with QueryAsync by a text property doesn't return any result.

using Azure;
using Azure.Data.Tables;

var tableClient = new TableClient(
    connectionString: "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
    tableName: "Test");

await tableClient.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();

try
{
    const string textValue = "Test value";

    var entity = new Entity
    {
        PartitionKey = string.Empty,
        RowKey = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
        Text = textValue
    };

    await tableClient.AddEntityAsync(entity);

    var gotEntity = await tableClient.GetEntityIfExistsAsync<Entity>(entity.PartitionKey, entity.RowKey);
    Console.WriteLine($"Got entity: '{gotEntity.HasValue}'");

    var foundEntities = await tableClient.QueryAsync<Entity>(x => x.Text == textValue).ToListAsync();
    Console.WriteLine($"Found entity: '{foundEntities.Any()}'");
}
finally
{
    await tableClient.DeleteAsync();
}

class Entity : ITableEntity
{
    public string PartitionKey { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string RowKey { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string Text { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public DateTimeOffset? Timestamp { get; set; }
    public ETag ETag { get; set; }
}
