This is the same repro with updated dependencies as the one in https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/issues/2918 that was marked as a duplicate of https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/issues/2863.

However, https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/issues/2863, is marked as closed and solved but it does not solve either this issue nor https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/issues/2918.
