Expected Result

Successful patch build.

The failure comes in BindTransformCommand.Execute at https:/wixtoolset/wix/blob/main/src/wix/WixToolset.Core.WindowsInstaller/Bind/BindTransformCommand.cs#L271. ColumnDefinition.MinValue is nullable as of WiX v4, so the assignment tries to set a non-nullable field to null. In WiX v3, ColumnDefinition.MinValue wasn't nullable so got a default value of 0, which isn't a legal value for that particular column, but survives the null check.
