  setmetatable(o, self)
  self.__index = self ---@diagnostic disable-line: inject-field

  return o
end

---@param i integer

I tried to checkout an older stable version of luals: v3.9.3, and seems it works at that version.
So maybe something related to exact class is broken in recent changes 😕

Then I performed a git bisect, and I found this issue started to occur from the following commit:

5f07b7efa6db1027a7fac64c31d7f8663dfc7d34 is the first bad commit

I opened #2883 a while back and I mentioned that if the __index assignment is removed, it will work as expected. The current behavior is definitely broken though.
