Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What did you do?

(https://play.golang.org/p/OSPW1IIzNCs)

1. Using emacs with gopls via eglot, start with a program with an existing undeclared identifier used in several places.
   (For this example, errNo.)
2. Add a declaration for a new identifier in local scope, but choose a better name for it (errno).
3. Remember that you also need to rename the existing uses of that identifier.
4. Place the point at an occurrence of the old identifier and execute M-x eglot-rename.
5. Type in the name of the identifier from step (2).

What did you expect to see?

References to the (now-undeclared) variable at the point should be renamed so that they now refer to the identifier in step (2).

What did you see instead?

gopls returns a no object found error.
