Accessing generically typed props in <script lang='ts' setup> causes transform failure

Steps to reproduce

I am trying to create a reusable Vue 3 component with generically typed props.
Let's say I want a props interface that looks something like:

// ChildComponent.vue
interface MyProps<T> {
  propOne: T
  propTwo: () => Array<T>
}

The goal of this is so that something like the below would fail:

// ParentComponent.vue
<template>
  <!-- 5 is a number, but "foo" and "bar" are strings 👎  -->
  <child-component
    :prop-one="5"
    :prop-two="() => ["foo", "bar"]"
  />
</template

Using this example, and also running into this issue I came up with the following:

// ChildComponent.vue
<script setup lang="ts">
defineProps<MyChildProps<unknown>>()
</script>

<script lang="ts">
export interface MyChildProps<T> {
  propOne: T
  propTwo: () => Array<T>
}
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ propOne }}</div>
</template>

// ChildComponentWithGenerics.vue
<script lang="ts">
import ChildComponent from './ChildComponent.vue'
import type { MyChildProps } from './ChildComponent.vue'

type ChildComponentWithGenerics = new <T>(props: MyChildProps<T>) => {
  $props: MyChildProps<T>
}

export default ChildComponent as ChildComponentWithGenerics
</script>

This successfully results in the following:

// ParentComponent.vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const getSomeStrings = () => ["foo", "bar"]
</script>

<template>
  <!-- 5 is a number, but "foo" and "bar" are strings 👎  -->
  <child-component
    :prop-one="5"
    :prop-two="getSomeStrings"
  />

  <!-- this is fine! 👍  -->
  <child-component
    prop-one="vite rocks!"
    :prop-two="getSomeStrings"
  />
</template>

Great, all working fine. That is, until I try and access the props in ChildComponent.vue...
As soon as I add const props = to then do some logic with the props, I get an error.

// ChildComponent.vue
<script setup lang="ts">

// accessing the props here causes the error ❌
const props = defineProps<MyChildProps<unknown>>()
</script>

<script lang="ts">
export interface MyChildProps<T> {
  propOne: T
  propTwo: () => Array<T>
}
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ propOne }}</div>
</template>

I also created a repo more like my use case here

What is expected?

Have access to the component's props

What is actually happening?

An error is thrown:
