Discriminant-specific error message not shown when one constituent of a union has a union-typed discriminant

Code

A simplified repro, based on real-world code:

interface A { x: number }
interface B { x: string }

interface U$A { kind: 'A', body: A }
interface U$B { kind: 'B', body: B }
interface U$null { kind: 'C' | 'D', body?: undefined }

type U = U$A | U$B | U$null;

declare function foo(u: U): void;

foo({kind: 'A', body: { x: 42 }});  // OK
foo({kind: 'B', body: { x: 42 }});  // Not OK

Expected behavior:
The second x: 42 gets a squiggle and and the error Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'.

Actual behavior:
The whole argument to the second foo call gets a squiggle and the error:

Argument of type '{ kind: "B"; body: { x: number; }; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'U'. Type '{ kind: "B"; body: { x: number; }; }' is not assignable to type 'U$null'. Types of property 'kind' are incompatible. Type '"B"' is not assignable to type '"C" | "D"'.

I would expect the type of the argument to have been narrowed to U$B by checking the kind property first. As it stands, the developer UX is not ideal especially when the shapes of the types involved get larger and it gets quite hard to figure out which property is wrong (in my real-world case, the union has 250+ members and the error message is incomprehensible).

Notes:
If I change x to y in interface B, the error message comes up OK.
Also, if I comment out the two references to U$null, I get a different (but also acceptable) error.

None that (at an uneducated guess) seemed to be exactly this one.

Comienza con la reproducción proporcionada en TypeScript Playground y compara el diagnóstico producido para la segunda llamada a foo con el error específico del discriminante esperado. Sigue el recorrido del type-checker que gestiona uniones con discriminantes de tipo unión; se considera terminado cuando el error apunta a x: 42 e informa de que number no se puede asignar a string sin introducir regresiones en las variantes indicadas.
