I actually noticed this due to it confusingly breaking IDLE call tips and code completion.

>>> import inspect
>>> from types import MethodType

>>> bound_len = MethodType(len, 'abc')
>>> bound_len()
3

>>> inspect.signature(bound_len)
<Signature ()>

>>> inspect.signature(len)
<Signature (obj, /)>

What do you consider to be a bug?  The empty signature is correct, as your successful call shows, and the IDLE calltip is, correctly, '()'.

I also do not see how name completion is affected.
