What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

Expected Dependabot to create a grouped update for only patch and minor versions. Instead, it generated an error:

This seems very similar to #7961, very likely to be the same root cause, but I'll keep both open since in that case it's nil, and here it's a string

I think I fixed the issue if you want to try again and let us know how it goes?
