`asyncio.gather` is sometimes erroneously type-checked

Bug Report

I'm adding typing to a large codebase, and have noticed weird asyncio.gather behavior.

To Reproduce

Here's a self-contained test:

from asyncio import gather


async def returns_dict() -> dict:
    return {}


async def returns_int() -> int:
    return 1


async def test():
    tasks = (returns_dict(), returns_int())
    reveal_type(await gather(*tasks))  # note: Revealed type is "Any"

Expected Behavior

The revealed type should be: note: Revealed type is "Tuple[builtins.dict*[Any, Any], builtins.int*]"

Actual Behavior

The correct return type is not recognized.

If the example is slightly changed:

from asyncio import gather


async def returns_dict() -> dict:
    return {}


async def returns_int() -> int:
    return 1


async def test():
    reveal_type(await gather(returns_dict(), returns_int()))

it works properly.

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: 0.902
• Mypy command-line flags: none
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): allow_redefinition, check_untyped_defs, namespace_packages, warn_unreachable
• Python version used: 3.9.5
• Operating system and version: macOs Big Sur

issue にある自己完結型の asyncio.gather 再現コードから始め、*tasks を指定して渡した tuple と直接の引数について、明らかになる型を比較します。gather 呼び出しの型チェックのエントリーポイントを追跡します。tuple 形式で Any ではなく期待される dict-and-int の結果が明らかになり、既存の直接引数の動作が維持されれば完了です。
