Fixes #8093

The fix is kind of simple, we really need to keep all ErasedTypes intact to preserve the existing type inference logic, but it is also long because I need to thread the flag down like dozen function calls.

The issue itself btw highlight how fragile is current type inference logic (note that expand_type() implicitly calls make_simplified_union() too, but I think that one doesn't need to be updated because it shouldn't be called with any erased components).

Looks good, just one comment. I agree that the type inference implementation is pretty fragile and unprincipled. Maybe we can do something about it next year.

Test that the type of pagelets is List[str]?
