Bug Report

Mypy returns

error: Metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases

when I combine a class with a custom metaclass and a str class

To Reproduce

This works

class M1(type): pass
class A1(metaclass=M1): pass

class CorrectMeta(M1, type): pass
class B2(A1, int, metaclass=CorrectMeta): pass  

but this not - I only replaced int with str

class M1(type): pass
class A1(metaclass=M1): pass

class CorrectMeta(M1, type): pass
class B2(A1, str, metaclass=CorrectMeta): pass 

Expected Behavior

There is no error

Actual Behavior

Mypy returned an error
