Bug report

Bug description:

The following code generates an exception where using a derived dataclass with slots. The expected behavior is for no exception to be raised for Derived3. The exception is:
Exception: super(type, obj): obj (instance of Derived3) is not an instance or subtype of type (Derived3).

from dataclasses import dataclass


# No dataclass
class Base1:
    b11: str

    def __init__(self, b11: str) -> None:
        self.b11 = b11


class Derived1(Base1):
    d11: str

    def __init__(self, b11: str, d11: str) -> None:
        super().__init__(b11)
        self.d11 = d11


@dataclass(slots=True)
class Base2:
    b21: str

    def __init__(self, b21: str) -> None:
        self.b21 = b21


# Derived dataclass without slots
@dataclass(slots=False)
class Derived2(Base2):
    d21: str

    def __init__(self, b21: str, d21: str) -> None:
        super().__init__(b21)
        self.d21 = d21


# Derived dataclass with slots
@dataclass(slots=True)
class Derived3(Base2):
    d31: str

    def __init__(self, b31: str, d31: str) -> None:
        super().__init__(b31)
        self.d31 = d31


# Code
s1 = 's1'
s2 = 's2'

D1 = Derived1(s1, s2)
print(f'D1: {str(D1)}')

D2 = Derived2(s1, s2)
print(f'D2: {str(D2)}')

try:
    D3 = Derived3(s1, s2)
    print(f'D3: {str(D3)}')
except Exception as e:
    print(f'Exception: {str(e)}')

The output I get is:

> python polymorphism.py
D1: <__main__.Derived1 object at 0x000001921C709160>
D2: Derived2(b21='s1', d21='s2')
Exception: super(type, obj): obj (instance of Derived3) is not an instance or subtype of type (Derived3).

PS: I am not sure why I get different string for the output of D1 and for D2, but I assume this is existing behavior (though weird).
