Research direction
The issue concerns bad lookup references and expected Datomic-compatible return values, but names no file, entry point, or test. Start by reproducing the failure and tracing lookup-reference handling in the relevant database code. Done means bad references return nil or {:db/id nil} rather than failing, with tests covering the behavior.
