ClassCastException when rendering SimpleCaseExpression

Description

When creating a SimpleCase using CriteriaBuilder.selectCase(Expression<?> arg0), a classcast exception will be thrown when the query is rendered to a TypedQuery.

CriteriaQuery<Customer> query = builder.createQuery(Customer.class);
Root<Customer> root = query.from(Customer.class);
query.select(root);

SimpleCase<String, Integer> orderCase = builder.selectCase(root.get(Customer_.EMail));
orderCase = orderCase.when("test@test.com", 1);
orderCase = orderCase.when("test2@test.com", 2);
        
query.orderBy(builder.asc(orderCase.otherwise(0)));
        
em.createQuery(query);

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to org.hibernate.ejb.criteria.Renderable
