EclipseLink NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Number.intValue()" when nested record embeddables

[njr-11]

After #29460 was fixed, most of the commented out tests worked and could be enabled, but EclipseLink gets a NullPointerException on one that has a record embeddable within another record embeddable,

// entity per orm.xml
public class CylinderEntity extends Object {
    public java.lang.String getCID() ...
    public Cylinder$Coordinate getCenter() ...
    public Cylinder$Side getSide() ...
    public void setCID(java.lang.String) ...
    public void setCenter(Cylinder$Coordinate) ... 
    public void setSide(Cylinder$Side) ...
}

public record Cylinder(String cID, Coordinate center, Side side) {
    public static record Coordinate(int x, int y) {}
    public static record Side(Coordinate a, Coordinate b) {}
}

From orm.xml,

  <entity class="test.jakarta.data.web.eclipselink.CylinderEntity">
    <table name="Cylinder"/>
    <attributes>
      <id name="cID" access="FIELD">
      </id>
      <embedded name="center" access="FIELD">
        <attribute-override name="x">
          <column name="CENTER_X"/>
        </attribute-override>
        <attribute-override name="y">
          <column name="CENTER_Y"/>
        </attribute-override>
      </embedded>
      <embedded name="side" access="FIELD">
        <attribute-override name="a.x">
          <column name="SIDE_A_X"/>
        </attribute-override>
        <attribute-override name="a.y">
          <column name="SIDE_A_Y"/>
        </attribute-override>
        <attribute-override name="b.x">
          <column name="SIDE_B_X"/>
        </attribute-override>
        <attribute-override name="b.y">
          <column name="SIDE_B_Y"/>
        </attribute-override>
      </embedded>
    </attributes>
  </entity>

  <embeddable class="test.jakarta.data.web.eclipselink.Cylinder$Coordinate">
    <attributes>
      <basic name="x" access="FIELD">
        <column nullable="false"/>
      </basic>
      <basic name="y" access="FIELD">
        <column nullable="false"/>
      </basic>
    </attributes>
  </embeddable>

  <embeddable class="test.jakarta.data.web.eclipselink.Cylinder$Side">
    <attributes>
      <embedded name="a" access="FIELD">
      </embedded>
      <embedded name="b" access="FIELD">
      </embedded>
    </attributes>
  </embeddable>

Per the above,
center is an embeddable of record type Coordinate under CylinderEntity.
side is an embeddable of record type Side under CylinderEntity.
a is an embeddable of record type Coordinate under Side.
b is an embeddable of record type Coordinate under Side.

EclipseLink creates the following table:

CREATE TABLE Cylinder (CID VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, CENTER_X INTEGER, CENTER_Y INTEGER, SIDE_A_X INTEGER, SIDE_A_Y INTEGER, SIDE_B_X INTEGER, SIDE_B_Y INTEGER, PRIMARY KEY (CID))

The following JPQL is sent to EclipseLink:

SELECT NEW test.jakarta.data.web.eclipselink.Cylinder(o.cID, o.center, o.side) FROM CylinderEntity o WHERE (o.center.x=?1 AND o.center.y=?2) ORDER BY o.side.b.y, o.side.b.x, o.cID

From that, EclipseLink generates the following SQL:

SELECT CID, CENTER_X, CENTER_Y, SIDE_A_X, SIDE_A_Y, SIDE_B_X, SIDE_B_Y FROM Cylinder WHERE ((CENTER_X = ?) AND (CENTER_Y = ?)) ORDER BY SIDE_B_Y, SIDE_B_X, CID

EclipseLink fails with the following NullPointerException when attempting to obtain the result:

It should be noted that if the record Side is switched to a class that is not a record, everything else is the same as above except that it runs successfully without error,

    public static class Side {
        public Coordinate a, b;

        public Side() {
        }

        public Side(Coordinate a, Coordinate b) {
            this.a = a;
            this.b = b;
        }

        public Coordinate a() {
            return a;
        }

        public Coordinate b() {
            return b;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "Side {a=" + a + ", b=" + b + "}";
        }
    }
