💻 Code
declare function fn<T>(value: () => T): { (): T };
declare function fn<T>(value: T): Iterable<unknown>;

export class A {
    a = fn(function* (this: A) {
        yield* fn(1); // error
    });

    b = fn(function* (this: A) {
        const temp = fn(1); // ok
        yield* temp;
    });
}

🙁 Actual behavior
src/error.ts:6:16 - error TS2488: Type 'never' must have a '[Symbol.iterator]()' method that returns an iterator.

6         yield* fn(1);
                 ~~~~~
🙂 Expected behavior

No error, as in A.b
