Govet and staticcheck report a warning and an error instead of the problem in code

[spinzed]

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available. (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

When there is an error that govet and/or staticcheck should pick up, a warning and an error are printed instead like this:

$ golangci-lint run --no-config --disable-all --enable=vet
WARN [runner] Can't run linter govet: assign: failed prerequisites: [errors in package: [/home/spinzed/Workspaces/repos/litch/ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test)]]
ERRO Running error: assign: failed prerequisites: [errors in package: [/home/spinzed/Workspaces/repos/litch/ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test)]]

$ golangci-lint run --no-config --disable-all --enable=staticcheck
WARN [runner] Can't run linter staticcheck: SA1011: failed prerequisites: [errors in package: [/home/spinzed/Workspaces/repos/litch/ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test)] errors in package: [/home/spinzed/Workspaces/repos/litch/ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test)]] 
ERRO Running error: SA1011: failed prerequisites: [errors in package: [/home/spinzed/Workspaces/repos/litch/ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test)] errors in package: [/home/spinzed/Workspaces/repos/litch/ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test)]]

Expected behavior: govet and staticcheck should report problems without any warnings or errors. Below can be seen govet and staticcheck outputs when run standalone:

$ go vet
vet: ./ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test)

$ staticcheck
ui.go:43:5: ui.test undefined (type App has no field or method test) (compile)

This bug is really similar to one that affected typecheck which was fixed in 1.39.0 via #1861
