Typed object with anchor throws Already had POJO for id

Tested with jackson-dataformat-yaml 2.11.3

        String yaml = "list:\n" +
                      "    - !Derived &id1\n" +
                      "        a: foo";
        
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper (new YAMLFactory());

        System.out.println (((Derived)container.list.get(0)).a);

throws

the problem is that SimpleObjectIdResolver.bindItem is called twice. Possibly, BeanDeserializerBase:1188 is not necessary at all.
