Mapping a path from a repository custom query to a single entity crashes with ClassCastException

Problem

Note: one-liner reproducer is given below.

Given two linked entities:

@Node("Bike")
public class BikeKey {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long internalId;
    private final String externalId;
    @Relationship(type = "CURRENT_STATE", direction = OUTGOING)
    private BikeState currentState;

    public BikeKey(final String externalId, final BikeState currentState) {
        this.externalId = externalId;
        this.currentState = currentState;
    }
    // getters, equals/hashCode, toString omitted for brevity

@Node("BikeState")
public class BikeState {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long internalId;
    private final String externalId;
    private final String name;
    private final String description;

    public BikeState(
            final String externalId,
            final String name,
            final String description) {
        this.externalId = externalId;
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
    }
    // getters, equals/hashCode, toString omitted for brevity

And a repository with a path-mapping @‎Query:

@Repository
public interface BikeRepository extends Neo4jRepository<BikeKey, Long> {

    @Query("MATCH path=(bike:Bike {externalId: $externalId})-[:CURRENT_STATE]->(:BikeState) RETURN path")
    BikeKey getCurrentBikeUsingPath(@Param("externalId") final String externalId);
}

With a reduced dataset:

CREATE
  (bike:Bike{
    externalId:'Roubaix'
  }),
  (state:BikeState{
    externalId:'Roubaix',
    name:"Robert's Roubaix",
    description:'2010 Roubaix with Tiagra and Fulcrum Racing 4s'
  }),
  (bike)-[:CURRENT_STATE]->(state)

This currently crashes:

Expected behavior

This should map the single entity found in the returned path.
