Error: could not decode result data (value="0x", info={ "method": ...

Version of Hardhat

2.17.3

What happened?

When forking the Goerli network in hardhat on block 8660077

there's a contract 0x148f340701D3Ff95c7aA0491f5497709861Ca27D

getting the public bool throws the error..

outside hardhat using ethers everything works fine

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.goerli.eth.gateway.fm');
const contract = new Contract('0x148f340701D3Ff95c7aA0491f5497709861Ca27D', abi, provider);

console.log(await contract.isLocked()); // true

Minimal reproduction steps

Fork goerli on block >= 8649158 and run the code

const abi = [
