Calling tm(key) emits error "TS2589: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite."

Reporting a bug?

With Typescript v4.7, the call to tm(key) in the composition API sometimes results in a type error being thrown:

error TS2589: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.

I can’t seem to reproduce it consistently, so my only way of dealing with this for the moment is by sprinkling @ts-ignore’s through my codebase.

Expected behavior

Correct type processing of the Vue I18n composition API.

Reproduction

<div class="container">
  <p v-for="line in tm('lines')">
    {{ rt(line) }}
  </p>
</div>

error TS2589: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.

same error when trying to use i18n in plain js(outside component) with const { t } = i18n.global

Upgrading from 9.1.10 to 9.2.2 causes this issue for me with i18n.global.t
