Can confirm.
Shifting does not work either

Can confirm in 21w40a. The expected behavior would be that you are able to trade with wandering traders whilst holding villager spawn eggs.

Can confirm in 1.19.1. The underlying issue is that this should actually happen with the wandering trader spawn egg and not the villager spawn egg. Someone just used the wrong item in the mob interact method of the wandering trader.

Fixing this takes literally under 1 second, haha, so please do 🙂
