jackson-databind: Failure to resolve generic type parameters on serialization

(note: originally reported against Kotlin module, example in Kotlin but failure in databind, transferred)

I have a Either definition:

@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME)
@JsonSubTypes(
    JsonSubTypes.Type(Either.Left::class, name = "left"),
    JsonSubTypes.Type(Either.Right::class, name = "right")
)
sealed class Either<out A, out B> {
    class Left<A>(val value: A): Either<A, Nothing>()
    class Right<B>(val value: B): Either<Nothing, B>()
}

that I use in a simple data class:

data class Foo(
    val bar: Either<String, String>,
    val second: String
)

I create an instance and try to serialize:

return Foo(
    bar = Either.Left("aaa"),
    second = "bbbb"
)

but jackson throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException:

Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0

Is it some misconfiguration on my side? I am using jackson 2.10.1.
