Repro Code

// @ts-expect-error - The module doesn't exist, but this is not relevant.
import { Placeholder } from 'placeholder';

export type Config = {
  // Using it only as a type
  placeholder: Placeholder;
}

// A symbol with the same name as the type
function Placeholder() {
  return null;
}

// Using the local symbol as a value
export function Main() {
  return <Placeholder />;
}

No response

Expected Result

It should report an error because the actual import is only used as a type. Instead no error is reported.
TSC accepts types with the same name as local values. Babel with the TypeScript preset throws an error due to having a duplicate identifier as it is unable to determine that the import will be dropped during compile-time.
There's also changes coming to TypeScript 5.4 that introduces errors when type-only imports conflict with local values.

Actual Result

No errors shown.
