advanced.findById returns null without erroring when requesting root feed

[Powersource]

ssb-meta-feeds 0.38.1

I've got some code that looks like

                  console.log('v1Feed', v1Feed)

                  ssb.metafeeds.advanced.findById(
                    v1Feed.parent,
                    (err, rootFeed) => {
                      // prettier-ignore
                      if (err) return cb(clarify(err, "couldn't find root feed from v1 feed"))

                      console.log('supposed root feed', rootFeed)

that logs

v1Feed FeedDetails {
      id: 'ssb:feed/bendybutt-v1/QWvVrFUaIFGt_li2xwYdK5N4FKZPWUiWJlUnffYqnh4=',

spookiness maybe related to the bugs you've been poking at @arj03 ?
