I think that's part of the underlying issue in every case, but then there sometimes seems to be some kind of bug where TS won't agree that the value actually has that nominal type, despite it originating from the enum itself. I usually then can't reproduce these issues with more minimal examples.

At least some of the time an enum doesn't agree with itself it's an import graph issue where the enum is getting imported from more than one place (perhaps because of multiple versions of a dependency in the middle) and the nominal typing is getting overly conservative that those things despite the same contents may be different things. I have a supposition that this is indirectly because what remains of nominal typing is Symbol types and Symbols do have to be extremely careful about import boundaries, especially when bundlers are involved.
