Also, I have discovered that the LEFT JOIN and GROUP BY clauses aren't
necessary to reproduce this result. I can trigger the error simply by
running a COUNT() on a column that contains all null values.

For example: "SELECT COUNT(MiddleName) FROM Person" where MiddleName
contains all null values will throw the error.

Thanks again for your help.
