Bug report

Bug description:

So I am not entirely sure whether this is unintended behaviour, but it is definitely a noticeable change between 3.11 and 3.12 that is rather unintuitive

import pickle
from io import BytesIO, TextIOWrapper

class EncodedFile(TextIOWrapper):
	def __getstate__(self):
		return "string"
	def __setstate__(self, state):
		pass

file = EncodedFile(BytesIO(b"string"))
pickle.dumps(file)

This works in Python 3.11 and 3.10, but fails in 3.12 with

pickle.dumps(file)
TypeError: cannot pickle 'EncodedFile' instances

CPython versions tested on:

3.10, 3.11, 3.12
