mysqlfrm can't interpret .frm files for partitioned tables

[j4nd3r53n]

I'm using MySQL Utilities mysqlfrm version 1.6.5 on Ubuntu 18.04.3, and I trying to use mysqlfrm to extract the create table ... information from a .frm file. This file is part of a backup created with Percona's innobackupex of a version 5.5 database. This is what I try (The full output attached, as well as the .frm file):

$ mysqlfrm --diagnostic -vvv game_action.frm
...

{'com_length': 17740,
 'int_length': 17749,
 'interval_count': 22048,
 'interval_parts': 19521,
 'n_length': 13616,
 'null_fields': 8270,
 'num_cols': 12912,
 'pos': 12592,
 'unknown': 24375}
# Fields per screen = 53
EXCEPTION: unpack requires a string argument of length 1
ERROR: Cannot read column data.

Opening the file in a hex editor indicates that the actual column data start near the very end of the file, at 0x3153:
