mysqlbinlog stops with an error Don't know how to handle column type: 255 meta: 4 (0004)

From some time now when I try to use mysqlbinlog with the --verbose option I get an error:
Error: Don't know how to handle column type: 255 meta: 4 (0004)

If I don't use the --verbose option it seams to work fine but I cannot see the query executed.

Since the binlog file is too large I'm attaching here only the output that I've narrowed using --start-datetime --stop-datetime from the command without the verbose option.

If you need the binlog file itself, please give instruction how to send it in a secure way since I don't want the hole file to be made available public.
