Pact Compiler: Potential fix for a NullPointerException in SinkJoiner

I got the following exception during my work on the tlabs usecases.

I'm not sure if this fix is a suitable solution. Since the original plan is quite large, it is not very easy for me to reproduce the bug in a dedicated test case.
  
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
