[Bug]: can't pass tags array to CSF default export when is generated from a function (v7 AND v8)

[YossiSaadi]

Describe the bug

Note: I'm using v7 for now, would love to have the possibility to fix it also for v7 please 🙏

If you have a function

import { Tag } from '@storybook/types';
export function createMetaSettings(): { tags: Tag[] } {
  return { tags: ['a', 'b'] };
}

And you try to use it as:

import { createMetaSettings } from './createMetaSettings';

const metaSettings = createMetaSettings();
export default {
  // ...everythingElse,
  tags: metaSettings.tags,
}

you always get the error:

🚨 Unable to index ./src/stories/MyStory.stories.ts:
WARN Error: CSF: Expected tags array

When I print the content of metaSettings.tags I always see that it is an array.

To Reproduce

Here's a reproduction through storybook.new
Happens both on v7 and v8 of SB.
Check out the Header.stories.ts which uses the external function.

System

Has nothing to do with system, happens on CSB, StackBlitz, and locally.
