Description

For example:

assert list(map(str.upper, System.Array[str](("a", "b")))) == ['A', 'B']

fails with:

TypeError: upper() takes no arguments (2 given)

The method signature is:

public Map(CodeContext context, object? func, [NotNull]params object[] iterables);

This used to work with IronPython 2 because the method signature for map was different:

public static List map(CodeContext/*!*/ context, params object[] param);

Research direction

Start at the C# map entry point shown in the issue and inspect how the params object[] iterables signature binds a .NET System.Array[str]. Reproduce the Python example and compare it with the IronPython 2 signature. Done means map treats the .NET array as one iterable whose elements are passed individually to the callback.
