Hi,
this helped me a lot. Just discovered same problem trying to recalculate payload (number, non-json) using expression:

Config:

# ...
  - measurement: voltage
    topic: zigbee2mqtt/+/voltage
    fields:
      value: = $.payload / 1000
    tags:
      id: $.topic[1]

With this patch mqtt message is precesed as expected.
