Description
await sql`
UPDATE foo AS f
SET ${sql({ bar: sql`now()` }, ["bar"])}
`;
expected;
update foo as f
set bar = now()
actual:
update foo as f
set now() as "bar"
Removing the alias does the trick.

Research direction
Start by running the supplied TypeScript SQL-template reproduction with a table alias and compare its generated SQL with the expected and actual examples. Done means the aliased update generates set bar = now() rather than set now() as "bar", while the alias-free case continues to work.
