functions.help.GetUserInfoRequest fails even with a valid `user_id` argument's value provided.

Code that causes the issue

async with TelegramClient(...) as client:
  me = await client.get_me()
  result = await client(functions.help.GetUserInfoRequest(
  user_id=me.username
  ))
  print(result.stringify())

Expected behavior

The returned help.UserInfo object being returned.

Actual behavior

Raises telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.UserInvalidError.

Other details

I attempted to provide a Peer object, Channel object, username string and User object. I also tried providing a User ID (as both string and int) to no avail (there was a valid access hash for the user ID). It appears functions.help.GetUserInfoRequest fails entirely. I tried the before mentioned process on both the account logged into the Telethon application and also on other accounts via entity-like objects and strings/ints.
