This is clearly incorrect. However, it is not easy to determine where
it fails without looking at your back-sql metadata. I suspect that
attribute's metadata provides a non-NULL but empty join_where value.

To provide even more extensive logging, you can rebuild back-sql after
manually defining BACKSQL_TRACE in back-sql.h; this is really a
developers'-only option, so you should not use it in production, as the
logging is really verbose.
