Can't get different file types in metafield list of files using the Admin API

[IHaveNoAnswers]

I am trying this query on the Admin API (2023-01)

{
  product(id: "gid://shopify/Product/7677457531050") {
    id
    handle
    title
    metafield(namespace: "tech_drawings", key: "cad3d") {
      namespace
      key
      type
      references(first:10) {
        nodes {
          __typename
          ... on MediaImage {
            id
            image {
              url
            }
          }
          ... on GenericFile {
            id
            url
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

but I am not getting the results I expect.

product.metafields.tech_drawings.cad3d is a list of files. The product has 4 attachments in the metafield, 2 are of type GenericFile and 2 are MediaImage. I can only get back one file type, the files of the other type are null.

The type I get back is always whatever type is first in the list.

For example, if the attached files are in the order

1. PrintButtonDisabled.png
2. tinyimg.doilooklikeiknowwhatapngis
3. thisIsACADfile.txt
4. tinyimg.png

the result of the query is:

{
	"data": {
		"product": {
			"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/7677457531050",
			"handle": "productbuilder",
			"title": "ProductBuilder",
			"metafield": {
				"namespace": "tech_drawings",
				"key": "cad3d",
				"type": "list.file_reference",
				"references": {
					"nodes": [
						{
							"__typename": "MediaImage",
							"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/MediaImage\/28522171531434",
							"image": {
								"url": "https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/8383\/0954\/files\/PrintButtonDisabled.png?v=1678460680"
							}
						},
						null,
						null,
						{
							"__typename": "MediaImage",
							"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/MediaImage\/28540311929002",
							"image": {
								"url": "https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/8383\/0954\/files\/tinyimg.png?v=1678798239"
							}
						}
					]
				}
			}
		}
	},
	"extensions": {
		"cost": {
			"requestedQueryCost": 24,
			"actualQueryCost": 7,
			"throttleStatus": {
				"maximumAvailable": 1000.0,
				"currentlyAvailable": 993,
				"restoreRate": 50.0
			}
		}
	}
}

If I change the order of the files to

1. thisIsACADfile.txt
2. PrintButtonDisabled.png
3. tinyimg.doilooklikeiknowwhatapngis
4. tinyimg.png

I get this:

{
	"data": {
		"product": {
			"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/Product\/7677457531050",
			"handle": "productbuilder",
			"title": "ProductBuilder",
			"metafield": {
				"namespace": "tech_drawings",
				"key": "cad3d",
				"type": "list.file_reference",
				"references": {
					"nodes": [
						{
							"__typename": "GenericFile",
							"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/GenericFile\/28540547104938",
							"url": "https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/8383\/0954\/files\/thisIsACADfile.txt?v=1678800901"
						},
						null,
						{
							"__typename": "GenericFile",
							"id": "gid:\/\/shopify\/GenericFile\/28540311961770",
							"url": "https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/8383\/0954\/files\/tinyimg.doilooklikeiknowwhatapngis?v=1678798239"
						},
						null
					]
				}
			}
		}
	},
	"extensions": {
		"cost": {
			"requestedQueryCost": 24,
			"actualQueryCost": 5,
			"throttleStatus": {
				"maximumAvailable": 1000.0,
				"currentlyAvailable": 995,
				"restoreRate": 50.0
			}
		}
	}
}

I do get the expected results (all 4 attachments appear correctly) using the Shopify GraphiQL app Storefront API. Is there a way to get the same result with the Admin API?
