Orbit() of a matrix group on sets of vectors stopped working in GAP 4.13 #5786

Description

@dimpase

Observed behaviour

with GAP 4.13.0 or .1, the following stopped working

gap>   gg:=SpecialUnitaryGroup(4,2);
SU(4,2)
gap>    hl:=Z(2)*[
>                 [0,0,1,0],
>                 [1,1,0,0],
>                 [0,1,0,1],
>                 [0,1,1,0],
>                 [1,1,0,1]];
[ [ 0*Z(2), 0*Z(2), Z(2)^0, 0*Z(2) ], [ Z(2)^0, Z(2)^0, 0*Z(2), 0*Z(2) ], [ 0*Z(2), Z(2)^0, 0*Z(2), Z(2)^0 ], [ 0*Z(2), Z(2)^0, Z(2)^0, 0*Z(2) ], [ Z(2)^0, Z(2)^0, 0*Z(2), Z(2)^0 ] ]
gap>        o216:=Orbit(gg,Set(hl),OnSets);

Expected behaviour

Orbit gets created (the above commands work with GAP 4.12.2 and earlier)
