Description
**Expected behavior**
When calling `getnewaddress` and then `getaddressinfo` on the newly generated address, it should work and return the address info, not an error.
**Actual behavior**
`getaddressinfo` returns:
```
error code: -5
error message:
Invalid address
```
but only for bech32 addresses and apparently only in `regtest` chain. Legacy and p2sh-segwit seems to work fine.
**To reproduce**
Just starts a fresh node in `regtest` mode, and type the 2 commands.
**System information**
Tried on 2 different machines with elements 0.18.1.7 and 0.18.1.12:
