Research direction

Start with the TextMate grammar files in the TypeScript-TmLanguage repository and reproduce the report in a TypeScript file containing TSDoc. Locate the rules for TSDoc tags and verify the grammar's behavior in VS Code; the issue is done when @typeParam receives syntax highlighting consistent with the other tags.
