When using singleton types `assertEquals` does not work but `==` does

[hmf]

Using veersion 3.4.2-RC1.

I have the following definitions that implement a map version of an HList:

sealed trait IMap:
case object IEmpT extends IMap
case class ICons[K, V, T <: IMap](key: K, value: V, tail: T) extends IMap

The following non-commented code compiles in Scala 3 (3.4.2-RC1):

    val ff1b: ICons["5", 5, IEmpT] = ICons("5", 5, IEmpT)
    summon[ff1b.type <:< ICons["5", 5,IEmpT]]
    // summon[ICons["5", 5,IEmpT] =:= ff1b.type] // fails
    // summon[ICons["5", 5,IEmpT] <:< ff1b.type] // fails

The commented code above fails. I can compare the values with == without any problem as shown below:

    assert(ICons("5", 5,IEmpT) == ff1b) // Ok
    assert(ff1b == ICons("5", 5,IEmpT)) // Ok
    assert(ff1b.isInstanceOf[ICons[String, Int, IEmpT]])

However the following fails to compile with errors shown at the end:

    assertEquals(ICons("5", 5,IEmpT), ff1b)
    assertEquals(ff1b, ICons("5", 5,IEmpT))

Because == works, I would assume that the assertEquals above should also work, but it do not. Looking at this code it seems it should work. Indeed, when I don't use singleton types, it does. However ComparePriority1 and ComparePriority2 don't seem to be working as expected.

Is this expected?

TIA
