I've investiagted the issue and found out that the cause is how the IPageCriteriaQueryService / ContentDB.AssignDelayLoadedFactory is handling nested blocks on the page level.
I've created a ticket in support, but in short, given following content structure (with existing content in database):

[ContentType]
public class SomePage : PageData
{
    public virtual BlockA BlockA { get; set; }
}

[ContentType]
public class BlockA : BlockData
{
    [AllowedTypes(typeof(BlockB))]
    public virtual ContentArea Links { get; set; }
}

[ContentType]
public class BlockB : BlockData
{
    [AllowedTypes(typeof(PageData))]
    public virtual ContentReference Link { get; set; }
}

While querying with IPageCriteriaQueryService the ContentDB.AssignDelayLoadedFactory throws and exception ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero. (Parameter 'length').

// Example hardcoded values, to isolate the error, however it is also present on real queries
PageReference pageLink = new PageReference(7); // Content ID of Home Page
string languageBranch = "en";
PropertyCriteriaCollection criterias = new PropertyCriteriaCollection
{
    new ()
    {
        Name = "PageLink",
        Type = PropertyDataType.PageReference,
        Condition = CompareCondition.Equal,
        Value = "1410", // Content ID of the Page
        Required = true,
    },
};

var pages = _pageCriteriaQueryService.FindPagesWithCriteria(pageLink, criterias, languageBranch);

The AssignDelayLoadedFactory method tries to execute following code:

char ch = includedPropertyDefinitionId.HasValue ? ':' : '(';
string lazyScopeName = scopeName.Substring(0, scopeName.LastIndexOf(ch) - 0);

which is not possible, due to scope being of value " .1376.322.", which does not contain neither colon or parenthesis.

The bug was reproduced by support, and it's available to be tracked here:
