Source Tracking recognises a deleted Global Action (QuickAction) as QuickActionDefinition and fails retrieving the change

[amtrack]

Summary

When deleting a Global Action in a source tracked org, SourceMember.MemberType is incorrectly reported as QuickActionDefinition instead of QuickAction.

sf project retrieve does not do anything because the Metadata Registry does not know this Metadata Type.

$ sf project retrieve preview
Warning: Unable to find type QuickActionDefinition in registry
...

Steps To Reproduce

I created a Minimum Reproduction Example using GitHub Actions:
https://github.com/mdapi-issues/mre-incorrect-source-member-type-quickactiondefinition

Expected result

It should retrieve the change and delete the QuickAction locally.

Actual result

It does not delete the remotely deleted Global Action.
