New Behavior (?) from Appsync -- Nested null @hasOne objects in createObject and updateObject (but NOT getObject or listObjects) resolvers throw errors on required attributes: "Cannot return null for non-nullable type: 'ID' within parent '<my nested model>'"

type Company
@model
)
{
    id:                     ID!
    owner:                  ID!
    centralInfrastructureId: ID
    centralInfrastructure:   Infrastructure      @hasOne     (   fields:     ["centralInfrastructureId"]      )  <-- this one
}

type Infrastructure
@model
)
{
    id:                     ID!
    owner:                  ID!
    companyId:              ID      @index      (   name:   "byCompany"     )
    # company:                Company @belongsTo  (   fields: ["companyId"]   )  # no longer used
} 

If i do a createCompany with a null centralInfrastructureId, the 'nested' @hasone centralInfrastructure will be null.
The createCompany and updateCompany resolvers will then choke on the required fields from the nested Infrastructure.

mutation CreateCompany(
  $input: CreateCompanyInput!
  $condition: ModelCompanyConditionInput
) {
  createCompany(input: $input, condition: $condition) {
    id
    owner
   ...
    centralInfrastructureId
    centralInfrastructure {
      id  <-- choke
      owner  <-- choke
      ....

      createdAt <-- choke
      updatedAt <-- choke
      __typename
    }

    createdAt
    updatedAt
    __typename
  }
} 

gives me

{
"data": 
... 
id: <some new id>,
centralInfrastructureId: null,
centralInfrastructure: null,
...
"errors": [
    {
      "path": [
**        "createCompany",
        "centralInfrastructure",
        "id"**
      ],
      "locations": null,
      **"message": "Cannot return null for non-nullable type: 'ID' within parent 'Infrastructure' (/createCompany/centralInfrastructure/id)"**
    },
   ... ( also 'owner' and 'updatedat' and 'createdat')

  ]
} 

If I remove the 'required' fields from the mutation return values, the errors go away.

To be clear, the mutation is successful but I think these errors are new, I believe, because I've been handling them so that any errors returned from graphql throw exceptions all over my app and I've only seen these exceptions in my app in the last few days.

But that's like a GetCompany, right? what happens if i do a GetCompany?

query GetCompany($id: ID!) {
  getCompany(id: $id) {
    id
    owner
    ...
    centralInfrastructureId
    centralInfrastructure {
      id
      owner
      ...
      createdAt
      updatedAt
      __typename
    }
    ...
    createdAt
    updatedAt
    __typename
  }
}

Success! No errors.

{
  "data": {
    "getCompany": {
      "id": "49e8fddc-99d4-4997-88ac-76ee5baf806c",
      "owner": "a4c87468-3071-700a-0172-903242e45dc1",

      "centralInfrastructureId": null,
      "centralInfrastructure": null,
      "createdAt": "2024-06-28T14:42:22.833Z",
      "updatedAt": "2024-06-28T14:42:22.833Z",
      "__typename": "Company"
    }
  }
}

I can work around these new errors (though I'd rather not).
Is this suposed to be what happens? Create and Update resolvers return the same data as Get and List resolvers, but only the Create and Update resolvers return exceptions as well?

I also have similar schemas in different accounts (not exactly the same) and I haven't seen this behavior there.
Update resolvers don't throw exceptions on null nested @hasone objects in these different apps.

Expected behavior

Expect above CreateCompany mutation to not throw errors when nested @hasone object is null.

Reproduction steps

1. deploy a schema with a similar @hasone relationship as above
2. execute a Create mutation with a nested return object.
