Странный NPE в BatchingBatcher «Драйвер JDBC не вернул ожидаемое количество строк» ​​

I'm running a spring/hibernate java app on tomcat and I'm seeing this funky error on update: JDBC driver did not return the expected number of row counts

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

I recently updated my mysql connector to version 5.1.15. Has anyone seen anything like this?
