Thanks Erick for your fast response. I've checked out adding the sort param and yes that vanished the problem but it also disables elevation if I'm not mistaken. So after adding forceElevation=true to the query then a ClassCastException was thrown:

If that makes the problem go away, it’s a smoking gun. Whether or not adding sorting makes the problem go away, this looks like something that’s a legitimate JIRA, please go ahead and raise one.
