Incorrect `Any` class method return type inference with Generic TypeVars in separate modules

Bug Report

The setup:
I have a generic class (Instantiator) which contains a class method (instantiate()) which is passed a desired type (MyClass) and instantiates an instance of the generic type. I then have another function (returns_instance()) outside of the class which calls instantiate and returns an instance of the passed desired type.

What is happening:
When the definition for the generic type and the generic class lives in the same module as the calling function, there are no mypy errors. However, if the definition for the generic type and the generic class live in a different module from the calling function, mypy throws a error: Returning Any from function declared to return "MyClass" [no-any-return] error.

To Reproduce

File 1: a.py

from typing import Any, Dict, Generic, Type, TypeVar
from dataclasses import dataclass
from spotify_typed_config.b import InstantiatorB


TYPEVAR_A = TypeVar("TYPEVAR_A")


@dataclass
class MyClass:
    i: int = 10

    def print(self) -> None:
        print(self.i)


class InstantiatorA(Generic[TYPEVAR_A]):
    @classmethod
    def instantiate(cls, class_to_instantiate: Type[TYPEVAR_A], x: Dict[str, Any]) -> TYPEVAR_A:
        return class_to_instantiate(**x)


# This works fine -- no errors!
def returns_instance_a(i: int) -> MyClass:
    return InstantiatorA.instantiate(MyClass, {"i": i})

# a.py:29: error: Returning Any from function declared to return "MyClass"  [no-any-return]
def returns_instance_b(i: int) -> MyClass:
    return InstantiatorB.instantiate(MyClass, {"i": i})

# b.py:14: error: Redundant cast to "TYPEVAR_B"  [redundant-cast]
# a.py:33: error: Returning Any from function declared to return "MyClass"  [no-any-return]
def returns_instance_b_with_cast(i: int) -> MyClass:
    return InstantiatorB.instantiate_with_cast(MyClass, {"i": i})

# a.py:37: error: Returning Any from function declared to return "MyClass"  [no-any-return]
def returns_instance_b_no_params(i: int) -> MyClass:
    return InstantiatorB.instantiate_no_params(MyClass)

# This works fine -- no errors!
def returns_instance_b_reassignment(i: int) -> MyClass:
    b: MyClass = InstantiatorB.instantiate_no_params(MyClass)
    return b

# a.py:47: error: Returning Any from function declared to return "MyClass"  [no-any-return]
def returns_instance_b_inner_reassign(i: int) -> MyClass:
    return InstantiatorB.instantiate_with_reassign(MyClass)

# a.py:51: error: Returning Any from function declared to return "MyClass"  [no-any-return]
def returns_instance_b_with_generic(i: int) -> MyClass:
    return InstantiatorB[MyClass].instantiate(MyClass, {"i": i})

File 2: b.py

from typing import Any, Dict, Generic, Type, TypeVar, cast

TYPEVAR_B = TypeVar("TYPEVAR_B")

class InstantiatorB(Generic[TYPEVAR_B]):
    @classmethod
    def instantiate(cls, class_to_instantiate: Type[TYPEVAR_B], x: Dict[str, Any]) -> TYPEVAR_B:
        return class_to_instantiate(**x)

    @classmethod
    def instantiate_with_cast(cls, class_to_instantiate: Type[TYPEVAR_B], x: Dict[str, Any]) -> TYPEVAR_B:
        return cast(TYPEVAR_B, class_to_instantiate(**x))

    @classmethod
    def instantiate_no_params(cls, class_to_instantiate: Type[TYPEVAR_B]) -> TYPEVAR_B:
        return class_to_instantiate()

    @classmethod
    def instantiate_with_reassign(cls, class_to_instantiate: Type[TYPEVAR_B]) -> TYPEVAR_B:
        result: TYPEVAR_B = class_to_instantiate()
        return result

Expected Behavior

I expect that mypy would be able to correctly infer that the return type of the instantiate_* methods as it does for InstantiatorA, but for InstantiatorB it incorrectly reports Any as the return type.
I would expect that maybe passing the desired return type as a subscript was needed such as in returns_instance_b_with_generic, and that actually does result in VSCode showing the correct return type, but mypy still does not.

Actual Behavior

Errors are reported inline above.

Inizia con il reproducer in a.py e b.py usando mypy 1.14.1 con la configurazione strict mostrata, confrontando il comportamento nello stesso modulo e nei moduli importati. Traccia come vengono inferiti i Generic TypeVars dei metodi di classe instantiate_* oltre il confine tra i moduli; il lavoro è completato quando le chiamate riprodotte inferiscono MyClass e non segnalano più Returning Any né il relativo errore redundant-cast.
