Intersection of Linestring with Polygon causes column mismatch in PostGIS

Question

I have the following sql code that intersects each linestring with a polygon. The problem is that when the linestring is wholly covered in the polygon the descriptor attribute of the polygon is put into the ra column instead of the descriptor column. When the linestrings are intersected it is correctly performed. How can I get the descriptor attribute to not be switched around.

Current Output
lic_li_no	orig_licli	ra	descriptor
xxxxx	xxxxx	LSD-10 Sec 12	NULL

Desired Output
lic_li_no	orig_licli	ra	descriptor
xxxxx	xxxxx	NULL	LSD-10 Sec 12

WITH split_lines AS (
    SELECT
  p.lic_li_no, p.orig_licli,l.ra,
  l.descriptor,
  (ST_Dump(ST_Intersection(p.geom, l.geom))).geom AS geom
    FROM
  public.linestring p, public.grid_concave_hull l
    WHERE
  ST_Intersects(p.geom, l.geom) AND NOT ST_CoveredBy(p.geom, l.geom)
    UNION ALL
    SELECT
  p.lic_li_no, p.orig_licli,
  l.descriptor, l.ra,
  p.geom AS geom
    FROM
  public.linestring p, public.grid_concave_hull l
    WHERE
  ST_CoveredBy(p.geom, l.geom)
)
SELECT * FROM split_lines;

Answer 1

In the first part of union the order of attributes is:

p.lic_li_no, p.orig_licli, l.ra, l.descriptor

In the second part order is reversed:

p.lic_li_no, p.orig_licli, l.descriptor, l.ra
