jest.mock on React Functional component - nothing was returned from render

Question

I use clean Create React App instance with React Testing library

$ npx create-react-app test-app
...
$ npm install --save @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom

Then I create simple Functional Component

./Chleb.js:

import React from 'react';

const Chleb = () => <div>chleb</div>;

export default Chleb;

In default App.js:

import React from 'react';
import Chleb from "./Chleb";

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Chleb />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

then, in the App.test.js:

import React from 'react';
import { render  } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';

jest.mock('./Chleb');

describe('<App /> tests', () => {
  it('Should render the component correctly', () => {
    const {container} = render(<App/>);
    expect(container).toMatchSnapshot();
  });
});

What yields:

Error: Chleb(...): Nothing was returned from render. This usually means a return statement is missing. Or, to render nothing, return null.

I think that either Jest or RTL is not supporting arrow functions?

That's really strange, but when I convert Chleb.js to old React Class component, it works correctly. It also works, when I provide manual fn mock implementation in the jest.mock('...', fn).

Is it required to provide manual mock implementation for React Functional components, or is this some kind of bug?

try setting resetMocks as false in jest config
