Fixes #4351.
This is a very unfortunate situation that only happens in combination of annotations on packages. When visiting the type reference of an annotation, we're also visiting its package, and if this package is annotated, we'll do the same again.
With this fix, packages are only visited if the contexts don't not already hold a reference to the package.
The tests cover some more complex situations that would have caused similar issues.
