Describe the Bug

The following example type checks fine with mypy/pyright, but raises

ERROR `MySeries` is not assignable to upper bound `NativeSeries` of type variable `T` [bad-specialization]
  --> t.py:15:17
   |
15 | def to_foo() -> Foo[MySeries]:
   |                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   |
  `MySeries.filter` has type `BoundMethod[MySeries, (self: MySeries, _predicate: Iterable[bool]) -> MySeries]`, which is not assignable to `BoundMethod[MySeries, (self: MySeries, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Any]`, the type of `NativeSeries.filter`

for pyrefly

from typing import Generic, Sized, Iterable, Any, TypeVar, Protocol, Self

class NativeSeries(Protocol):
    def filter(self, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Any: ...

class MySeries:
    def filter(self, _predicate: Iterable[bool]) -> Self:
        return self

T = TypeVar('T', bound=NativeSeries)

class Foo(Generic[T]):
    ...

def to_foo() -> Foo[MySeries]:
    ...
