Type overrides not honoured for nullable fields with pgx5

What happened?

With the following config:

        emit_pointers_for_null_types: true
        overrides:
          - db_type: "uuid"
            go_type:
              import: "github.com/google/uuid"
              type: "UUID"

The generated Go type is

type User struct {
	ID           int32       `json:"id"`
	UserUuid     uuid.UUID   `json:"userUuid"`
	PasswordHash *string     `json:"passwordHash"`
	PasswordUuid pgtype.UUID `json:"passwordUuid"`
	Email        string      `json:"email"`
	FirstName    string      `json:"firstName"`
	LastName     string      `json:"lastName"`
	CreatedAt    time.Time   `json:"createdAt"`
}

where I would expect

PasswordUuid *uuid.UUID `json:"passwordUuid"`

Relevant log output

Database schema

-- Users table
CREATE TABLE users (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    user_uuid uuid UNIQUE NOT NULL DEFAULT (uuid_generate_v4()),
    password_hash varchar,
    password_uuid uuid UNIQUE,
    email varchar UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    first_name varchar NOT NULL,
    last_name varchar NOT NULL,
    created_at timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT (now())
);

Another example, but with timestamps:

-- Logs chunks table
CREATE TABLE logs_chunks (
    chunk SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    log bigint NOT NULL REFERENCES logs(id),
    created_on timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
    blob_path varchar UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    chunk_start timestamp,
    chunk_end timestamp,
    line_count int NOT NULL,
    category_counts jsonb NOT NULL,
    severity_counts jsonb NOT NULL,

    CONSTRAINT log_chunks_category_counts_object CHECK (jsonb_typeof(category_counts) = 'object'),
    CONSTRAINT log_chunks_severity_counts_object CHECK (jsonb_typeof(severity_counts) = 'object')
);

With

-- name: AddLogChunk :exec
-- Adds data for an uploaded log chunk
INSERT INTO logs_chunks(log, blob_path, chunk_start, chunk_end, line_count, category_counts, severity_counts)
VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7);

Generating

type AddLogChunkParams struct {
	Log            int64            `json:"log"`
	BlobPath       string           `json:"blobPath"`
	ChunkStart     pgtype.Timestamp `json:"chunkStart"`
	ChunkEnd       pgtype.Timestamp `json:"chunkEnd"`
	LineCount      int32            `json:"lineCount"`
	CategoryCounts []byte           `json:"categoryCounts"`
	SeverityCounts []byte           `json:"severityCounts"`
}

You need 2 configs. One for non pointer version and another for pointer version.
try something like this

- db_type: "uuid"
  go_type:
    import: "github.com/google/uuid"
    type: "UUID"
- db_type: "uuid"
  go_type:
    import: "github.com/google/uuid"
    type: "UUID"
    pointer: true
  nullable: true

Same goes for timestamptz
