-Wnull dereference warning, when using -Os, -DNDEBUG and -Wnull-dereference flags after upgrading to protobuf 27.4

What version of protobuf and what language are you using? Version: protobuflib: 5.27.4; protoc 27.4 (protobuf lite) Language: C++

What operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version? Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.9 (Maipo)

What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g., python version or gcc version) GNU 12.2.0

What did you do? Steps to reproduce the behavior: Minimal reproduction included in attached files.
