getindex broken with SVector{3, UInt} in the presence of missing data

[adienes]

MWE:

julia> df = DataFrame(:a => [1, 2, 3, missing]);

julia> Arrow.write("mwe.arrow", df);

julia> at = Arrow.Table("mwe.arrow");

julia> idxs = @SVector UInt[1,2,3];

julia> at.a[idxs]
ERROR: setindex!() with non-isbitstype eltype is not supported by StaticArrays. Consider using SizedArray.

update: I believe this is (mostly) caused by StaticArrays.jl having a bug in its implementation of similar, which did not return a mutable container when eltype is not isbitstype, which is true of Union{Int, Missing}

however, I am still confused about why the above MWE works when idxs = @SVector [1,2,3] (aka, without the UInt)
