q = session.get_objects(pk_query_params)
results = list(q)
on Nexus Personal PKCS11 driver fails with:
results = list(q)

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the shown SearchIter usage and inspect pkcs11/_utils.pyx:_unpack_attributes, pkcs11/_pkcs11.pyx:Object.getitem, and SearchIter.next. Determine how the Nexus Personal PKCS11 data reaches the boolean unpacking path, then verify that list(q) completes without the reported struct.error or cleanup exception.
