Thanks @ueman
Do you have access to the raw stack trace or a link to sentry.io so I can take a look?

The Java stacktrace part of the event is the following

The reason is the 1st frame:

{
                "platform": "java",
                "in_app": false,
                "data": {
                    "orig_in_app": -1
                }
}

So the parsing algo has to consider that if the frame does not have any useful data, eg function, module, filename, etc, just discard it.
