This behavior only exists in Vue 2.7.x, which is different from both Vue 3 & @vue/composition-api. For example, in this Vue 3 reproductions, it's okay: https://sfc.vuejs.org/#eNp9kc9qhDAQxl9lCAVdUAM9igqll75BL7lYHbcu5g+TaA+Sd+9kd11KCz0l8+WbH/NNdvHiXLWtKGrR+IFmF8BjWF2nzKydpQA7EE4FDFa7NeAIESayGjJuypRRZrDGB3jiY5rP0CZ3nr3hslh4t7SMz9npMD08ByzPT9B2R3O19cuK7G7kbRQegouA2i19QK4AmnHeYB5bJXrnlLhqrLpu3w98jI1M87Ms2c23Rj4YohC3XKXuXXXx1nDyPZnV/cErUcNVSRqnTLUSnyE4X0vppyHt6+IrS2fJt4pWE2aNFXpdfpD98kgMVqL4wZAsbkgloRmRkP5j/rL+4SZsVCZylFfe4/33RPwG5f6dbg==

They are just warnings and do not affect behavior. see #12587

But, in the reproduction I presented, variables that start with $ actually didn't setup to the component

This happens to me when i upgrade Nuxt 2 to Bridge version, which also uses Vue 2.7.x

I forked the above sandbox and add both options API and composition API cases, they're not working https://codesandbox.io/s/romantic-aj-lx4m4s

I have gotten a similar issue when using async setup(). Pretty much no other code. Don't use async in the setup, no issue, use async in setup, issue.

isReserved checks whether a string starts with $ or _: https://github.com/vuejs/vue/blob/bed04a77e575d6c4c1d903f60087dca874f7213e/src/core/util/lang.ts#L12-L15

This line of the setup() initialization skips properties that start with $ or _: https://github.com/vuejs/vue/blob/bed04a77e575d6c4c1d903f60087dca874f7213e/src/v3/apiSetup.ts#L62-L66
