This is expected. The answer nfields give is wrong. #22350

Yes, this is why there's a deprecation. In the future nfields(x) will give the number of fields in the object x, which should work for all objects, and fieldcount(type) tries to determine the number of fields that an instance of the given type would have.

Thanks! I did look for other issues with fieldcount / nfields but must have missed that one.
