OK, I see now.

Honestly, I don't see this as a regression. TypeInfo was not meant to be
instantiated by user code. The fact that it worked I don't think was intended,
just an accident (The runtime obviously never instantiates a direct TypeInfo,
it's always a subclass).

I recommend employing a workaround and closing this bug.
