Specifically, see nlst_ctab sct_ab_desc column. Looks like "=" is used as a separator, and it is not considered that "=" may be encountered more than once.
This is what it is in the dictionary rtf:

Our table has this instead
SELECT
*
FROM
`bigquery-public-data.idc_current_clinical.column_metadata`
WHERE
collection_id = "nlst"
AND `column`="sct_ab_desc"
