It appears that the issue is specific to a2a-sdk version 0.2.6. As a temporary workaround, you can use version 0.2.5 by running the following command:
uv add "a2a-sdk==0.2.5"

Hmm. Is there some sort of other root caus? In my case, it actually is working ok on 0.2.6, but fails when I upgrade to 0.2.7.
Working fine:

Upgrading your runtime to match the generator should solve this issue.
to check your current version,
pip show protobuf
To upgrade
pip install protobuf>=6.31.1
You could try this in your venv if needed.
fix: Add `protobuf==6.31.1` to dependencies (#189)
