How do I make use of Solr's MoreLikeThis feature with a MultiCore setup?

Question

So I have set up Solr with multiple cores using the MultiCore feature which works fine:

http://localhost:8080/solr/core_one/select/?q=Book

Works as expected and lists results.

Now all I want to do is send the same query to Solr with MoreLikeThis enabled:

http://localhost:8080/solr/core_one/select/?q=Book&mlt=true&mlt.fl=category

I get a HTTP Status 500 - null java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.solr.schema.FieldType.storedToIndexed. The field for mlt.fl exists. The funny thing is if I query something that does not have any results Solr properly returns an empty result set.

So is this a bug or am I missing something?

This is the full stack trace:

MoreLikeThis requires a stored unique key.
