Thanks for the bug report. This will be fixed in the next release of pylance.

Thanks for your fast response and fix! It was clearly not urgent as seemingly very few other users have noticed. I'm only noticing it because I am playing around with the differences caused by the current implementation of annotations, PEP 563s implementation, and PEP 649s implementation.

It seems like it was reported to mypy before but closed perhaps by accident when it was confused with an issue to do with Named Tuples: https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/3075
