multiple not found declaration redundant using private cannot find name not found

🕗 Version & Regression Information

• This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about What does the error "Exported variable [name] has or is using private name [name]" mean?

⏯ Playground Link

Playground link with relevant code

💻 Code

export let value: NotFound = 0;

Note that the declaration compiler option must be enabled.

🙁 Actual behavior

Cannot find name 'NotFound'.
Exported variable 'value' has or is using private name 'NotFound'.

🙂 Expected behavior

Just one of the two errors. "private name" implies the name exists, which is incorrect, so I'd expect just the one that appears when you don't have declaration: true:

Cannot find name 'NotFound'.

Found while working on #52032.
