Indexing job, many JsonSerializationException (because of NullReferenceException) on optional property

We're in the process of upgrading an CMS 11 app to CMS 12.

We upgraded the CMS and Find.Cms packages recently (to 12.22.5 and 15.2.0 respectively) and the index job started to fail every time.

There are a lot of JsonSerializationException (because of NullReferenceException) errors when getting some values, mostly the same subclass optional string property.

Why are Find throwing errors on properties that is allowed to be null?

Below is one log instance:

What is your definition of MetaTitle in code?

It could very well be connected with the other issue I'm having:

Find Indexing job fails early but seemingly keeps on running in b (optimizely.com)

And this occurs in the background threads...
