mypy crashes if collections import is removed from typing.pyi

Bug Report

Noticed during python/typeshed#11238: When removing the (now unnecessary) collections import from stdlib/typing.pyi, mypy 1.8.0 will crash with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

To Reproduce

Check out typeshed, install mypy, remove the collections import from typing.pyi and run ./tests/typecheck_typeshed.py, which will call mypy and include the traceback.

Your Environment

Python 3.11.6, mypy 1.8.0

The hack was originally introduced in python/typeshed#1456 to fix #2986

Still reproducible with: Python 3.13, mypy 1.13.0
