Athena DynamoDB table queries fail when there are null booleans

When we attempt to query a table and include boolean fields that may be null in the select clause, we receive an exception. (Note, when the records with a null are filtered out with where table.boolColumn is not null, the query succeeds.)

In Athena, I get:

GENERIC_USER_ERROR: Encountered an exception[java.lang.NullPointerException] from your LambdaFunction[arn:aws:lambda:<redacted>:function:dynamodb2] executed in context[S3SpillLocation{bucket='<redacted>:', key='athena-spill/f91514ab-130d-4464-9c5f-cfef12dd2e91/e4763105-fb52-4106-b619-006b6d7f521b', directory=true}] with message[java.lang.NullPointerException]
This query ran against the "default" database, unless qualified by the query. Please post the error message on our forum  or contact customer support  with Query Id: f91514ab-130d-4464-9c5f-cfef12dd2e91

In our CloudWatch log, I see this exception:
