Scala: generics, primitive types and nulls

While working on a Scala (2.12.4) project, I made a typo in my code and received an interesting output:

scala> new Get[Int]().inner() == null
<console>:13: warning: comparing values of types Int and Null
   using `==' will always yield false
       new Get[Int]().inner() == null
                              ^
res0: Boolean = true

While it was an absolutely useless construction, it still causes such misleading output as seen above:

class Get[T]() {
  val x: T = inner()
  def inner(): T = x
}
new Get[Int]().inner() == null

I would say that this is a minor Scala bug and probably is a side effect of some of value type + null bugs and other bugs, bugs.
