The apply syntax does not work with scala.Dynamic's applyDynamic/applyDynamicNamed

[sjrd]

Minimized code

import scala.language.dynamics

object MyDynamic {
  object literal extends scala.Dynamic {
    def applyDynamic(name: String)(args: Any*): Any =
      "applyDynamic: " + name + " -> " + args
    def applyDynamicNamed(name: String)(args: (String, Any)*): Any =
      "applyDynamicNamed: " + name + " -> " + args
  }
}

object Test {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    println(MyDynamic.literal())
    println(MyDynamic.literal("foobar"))
    println(MyDynamic.literal(foo = "Foo", bar = 42))
  }
}

Output

Expectation

It runs and outputs the following:

applyDynamic: apply -> ArraySeq()
applyDynamic: apply -> ArraySeq(foobar)
applyDynamicNamed: apply -> ArraySeq((foo,Foo), (bar,42))

Notes

This works in Scala 2.

Explicitly calling .apply makes it work in Dotty as well:

    println(MyDynamic.literal.apply())
    println(MyDynamic.literal.apply("foobar"))
    println(MyDynamic.literal.apply(foo = "Foo", bar = 42))

This is necessary for Scala.js, because this is how js.Dynamic.literal is defined. All code using js.Dynamic.literal hits this issue at the moment.
