How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Seemingly always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Should return all the files

What do you see instead?

See the above reproduction. Even with no nested subdirectories, readdir / readdirSync fail to report all files in the current directory when the recursive option is supplied at the same time as the withFileTypes option.

Additional information

It looks like #48640 discusses this in the comments, and #48698 fixes this, but I did not see an actual issue tracking this broken behavior itself, and that it was shipped in 18.17.0
