Is this a Kotlin or an R8 bug?

java.lang.LinkageError: Method void g.y4$b.a() [aka app.SomeFragment.Model.clear()] overrides final method in class Lf/n/j0 [aka androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel];

The method in question is fun clear() in my own ViewModel subclasses.
clear() in Android’s ViewModel is final with package-visibility so the clear() of my own subclass should be treated as a completely different function!
