WARNING: cannot create user data directory: cannot read symlink: readlink /home/ubuntu/snap/juju/current: invalid argument

I deployed HA juju controller on 3 nodes. When I try to issue juju status command I receive below warning:

2024/06/09 14:18:23.325037 cmd_run.go:1046: WARNING: cannot create user data directory: cannot read symlink: readlink /home/ubuntu/snap/juju/current: invalid argument

Finally I receive a proper output but this warning makes me feel that something is not right.

juju client snap:

juju 3.4.2 26968 3.4/stable canonical✓ -

Can you check why is this warning happening?

It looks like symbolic link does not exist in ~/snap/juju/current:

 tree ./snap/juju
./snap/juju
├── 26968
├── 26977
├── 27049
├── common
└── current

While other snaps have symbolic link available for their current directory:

F.e.

tree ./snap/maas
./snap/maas
├── 35359
├── common
└── current -> 35359

This is snapd behaviour.
