This case is covered

lodestar/packages/beacon-node/src/api/impl/beacon/state/utils.ts

Lines 140 to 141 in 83b29d7

	case "finalized": {
	const state = stateCache.get(forkChoice.getFinalizedBlock().stateRoot) ?? null;

A fallback would be to load the state from disk if not found

Is this still an issue? I'm not seeing this anymore as of v1.11.3

[nflaig]

This is still a problem until a solution like #6033 is implemented, related issue #5846
