## Bug Report

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

### 1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)

Hi,

In the following test case, there are two equivalent queries, however, the normal SELECT returns 1 row, but the prepared SELECT returns an empty result.

```
CREATE TABLE t0(c0 BOOL);
INSERT INTO t0 VALUES (true);
SELECT t0.c0 FROM t0 WHERE ELT(0.6706395853005295, 758832383, '&', NULL); -- 1
SET @c = '&';
SET @d = NULL;
PREPARE prepare_query FROM 'SELECT t0.c0 FROM t0 WHERE ELT(0.6706395853005295, 758832383, ?, ?)';
EXECUTE prepare_query USING @c,@d; -- empty result
```
