This means that a Union instance and a _UnionGenericAlias instance might compare equal but hash differently, right? Might that do counterintuitive things if you used them as dictionary keys or put them in sets?

I think that this is purely about the _UnionGenericAlias class itself, not _UnionGenericAlias instances.

Btw, do we need to add __hash__ tests to instances in other PR?

ah, thanks, great point. It still seems like users are storing the classes themselves in sets, though, so I think my point still applies -- the bug report here comes from astropy/astropy#18126

Yes, I should have made it hash() equal to Union. Fixed now.
