From my point of view, if the type annotations are doing implicit cast (with

an explicit cast. If it behaves differently, I'll be really difficult for a
developer to guess what will be the PHP behaviour with this new syntax.
Well, they do. The results of implicit scalar type hint casts are, so far as I
know, the same as explicit casts, but some cases lead to errors which don’t in
an explicit casts.
So they are not exactly the same :)
If type annotations are used, they should either not do any cast at all
(which is not the behaviour chosen so far), or do exactly the same than
an explicit cast (same error message than explicit cast, etc...).
I think a different approach would be misleading.
