What's Wrong?

Panic when viewing the clustering_information after setting the cluster key to a size less than 8 characters

How to Reproduce?

I have a table that I'd like to improve the clustering on. The id field is a UUIDv7 value and looks like this:

> select id from hl7 limit 10;
+--------------------------------------+
| id                                   |
+--------------------------------------+
| 0190f655-2d1c-7490-9e98-642395ba9bb3 |
| 0190f655-2df5-7010-bc65-de7b42316d39 |
| 0190f655-2e10-7dc3-a9f5-7cd800734b0d |

| 0190f655-2e56-7913-920a-c8803a29801a |
| 0190f655-2e87-7183-b068-8f97bdab4afb |
| 0190f655-2ed9-75c3-9826-9cc384d4acad |
| 0190f655-2efb-7291-aaee-0916c2aef2ee |
| 0190f655-2f25-7293-8bec-241703f408a8 |
| 0190f655-2f45-7472-a93f-2422a8372bee |
+--------------------------------------+

The table definition is:

CREATE TABLE hl7 (
  hospital_id BIGINT NULL,
  recv_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  commit_time TIMESTAMP NULL,
  process_error VARCHAR NULL,
  msg VARCHAR NULL,
  id VARCHAR NOT NULL
) ENGINE=FUSE CLUSTER BY (SUBSTRING(id FROM 1 FOR 8))

If I reduce the id substring from 8 characters, then I receive the following panic:

MySQL [hospital_dev]> alter table hospital_dev.hl7 cluster by (substring(id, 2, 8));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.161 sec)

MySQL [hospital_dev]> select * from clustering_information('hospital_dev', 'hl7');
ERROR 1105 (HY000): PanicError. Code: 1104, Text = internal error: entered unreachable code: unable to push NULL to String(StringColumnBuilder { need_estimated: true, data: [], offsets: [0] }).
