Self referencing nullable ID field not assigneable in a `eq` statement

I am not sure if I encountered another edge case but basically I have a self-referencing table where the reference can be nullable

export const carrierTasks = pgTable('carrier_tasks', {
    id: uuid('id').primaryKey().defaultRandom(),
    nextTaskId: uuid('next_task_id').references((): AnyPgColumn => carrierTasks.id),
    isCurrent: boolean('is_current').default(false).notNull(),
});

    await db.transaction(async (tx) => {
            const currentTasks = await tx
                .delete(carrierTasks)
                .where(eq(carrierTasks.isCurrent, true))
                                .returning({ nextTaskId: carrierTasks.nextTaskId })

            const currentTask = currentTasks?.[0];
            if (!currentTask) {
                throw new Error("Carrier task not found or not in current state");
            }

            await tx
                .update(carrierTasks)
                .set({ isCurrent: true })
                .where(eq(carrierTasks.id, currentTask.nextTaskId))

Which is resulting in

typescript: No overload matches this call.
  Overload 1 of 2, '(left: Aliased<string | null>, right: string | Placeholder<string, any> | SQLWrapper | AnyColumn | null): SQL<unknown>', gave the following error.

Since currentTask.nextTaskId is of type string | null . There are easy workarounds but this doesn't seem like the appropriate behavior
