Describe the bug

On the latest beta version, "vitest": "^4.0.0-beta.10", when passing a signal from new AbortController() to addEventListener, vitest fails with the following error:

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const abortController = new AbortController();
    const options = {
      signal: abortController.signal,
    };
    document.addEventListener("pointerdown", () => {}, options);
  }, []);

  return <div>Hello world</div>;
}

Failed to execute 'addEventListener' on 'EventTarget': parameter 3 dictionary has member 'signal' that is not of type 'AbortSignal'.

Downgrading back to 3.2.4 fixes the issue. Maybe related to #8390
