Description
As described in https://github.com/ztangent/ValSplit.jl/issues/6 it seems for some reason the `@generated` function which needs to be recompiled when adding specializations in `ValSplit.jl` is not regenerated when it is used in the `@compile_workload` of a package.

Research direction
Start with the behavior described in ValSplit.jl issue 6 and reproduce it through PrecompileTools.jl's @compile_workload entry point. Trace how the @generated function is handled when ValSplit.jl adds specializations, then verify that the expected regeneration occurs during package precompilation.
