Please consider the attached patch, as proposed upstream by a
gobject-introspection maintainer. Also available as a merge request:
https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libglib-object-introspection-perl/-/merge_requests/1

It passes tests with the old gobject-introspection (1.80.x in
testing/unstable) and also with the new version (1.81.x in experimental).

I haven't done any manual testing with dependent packages: I don't know
which ones, if any, use this particular pattern.

Thanks,
