Description
Using VS Code:

The language mode is set to JavaScript; interestingly it seems to work as expected with it set to plain text.
I now believe that it may be a bug in VS Code in how ligatures interact with syntax highlighting. @tonsky, should I open a new issue here? Can you confirm that it is indeed an issue with the editor?

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in VS Code with JavaScript syntax highlighting enabled, then compare it with the plain-text language mode using the linked screenshot as the reference. Determine whether the behavior belongs to Fira Code or VS Code; no repository file or test is identified, so done means establishing the responsible project and documenting or redirecting the report.
