    Description

      This query erroneously returns NULL:

      SELECT UNHEX(CONCAT('414c2', HEX(8+ROUND(RAND()*7)),SUBSTR(SHA(''),6,7),HEX(2+ROUND(RAND())*8)));

      If I remove HEX, it correctly returns a string in hexadecimal format:

      SELECT CONCAT('414c2', HEX(8+ROUND(RAND()*7)),SUBSTR(SHA(''),6,7),HEX(2+ROUND(RAND())*8));


      +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      		 
      | CONCAT('414c2', HEX(8+ROUND(RAND()*7)),SUBSTR(SHA(''),6,7),HEX(2+ROUND(RAND())*8)) |
      		 
      +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      		 
      | 414c2B3ee5e6bA                                                                     |
      		 
      +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

      If I now add a user variable assignment, it erroneously returns a broken hexadecimal string:

      SELECT @a:=CONCAT('414c2', HEX(8+ROUND(RAND()*7)),SUBSTR(SHA(''),6,7),HEX(2+ROUND(RAND())*8));


      +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      		 
      | @a:=CONCAT('414c2', HEX(8+ROUND(RAND()*7)),SUBSTR(SHA(''),6,7),HEX(2+ROUND(RAND())*8)) |
      		 
      +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      		 
      | 414c299 ee56b2                                                                         |
      		 
      +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

      The same problem is reproducible in a simplified query:

      SELECT @a:=CONCAT('2', '2', SUBSTR(SHA(''),6,7));


      +-------------------------------------------+
      		 
      | @a:=CONCAT('2', '2', SUBSTR(SHA(''),6,7)) |
      		 
      +-------------------------------------------+
      		 
      | 223ee5 6b                                 |
      		 
      +-------------------------------------------+
