LWC gets blank message from AuraHandledException

I am using api version 49 and throwing an AuraHandledException in Apex code that is called Imperatively from a LWC.

I have verified the exception message is set using Apex unit tests, but I consistently get a blank message in the error handling section of the LWC code.
Apex Code: 
Exception ex = new AuraHandledException('');
ex.setMessage('not authorized');
throw ex;

LWC Code: 
getData()
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(data);
        // processing for expected result
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
        if (error.body.message === "not authorized") {
          this.error = noAmgenNewsAuth;
        } else { // error.body.message is always ''
          this.error = cannotConnect;
        }
      });

Am I missing some undocumented trick here?  Or is there a bug?

As mentioned in the above link can you try something like below code:

throw new AuraHandledException('not authorized.');

.catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
        let error = TOAST_MESSAGE_ERROR;
        if (error.body.message == "not authorized") {
          error = noAmgenNewsAuth;
        } else { 
          error = cannotConnect;
        }
      }this.showToast(TOAST_TITLE_ERROR, error, TOAST_VARIANT_ERROR);}

Let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.  

Thanks.

Your suggested code has several errors and I see no material difference between your code and mine.

I have created a sample project in https://github.com/deb761/lwc-exception-message. I am seeing the same problem with API 50.0. Debbie
