That works:

$sendMessage->replyMarkup = $inlineKeyboard; // InlineKeyboardMarkupType object
$sendMessage->entities = json_encode([$messageEntity]); // manually encoded array of MessageEntityType objects

I didn't know that array of objects should be encoded manually. I found this in the similar methods accepts array of objects.

// TgBotApi\BotApiBase\Method\AnswerShippingQueryMethod.php

/**
 * Optional. Required if ok is True. A JSON-serialized array of available shipping options.
 *
 * @var ShippingOption[]|null
 */
public $shippingOptions;

A JSON-serialized array of available shipping options.

But documentation for the entities property misses this:

// TgBotApi\BotApiBase\Method\SendMessageMethod.php

/**
 * Optional. List of special entities that appear in message text, which can be specified instead of parse_mode.
 *
 * @var MessageEntityType[]|null
 */
public $entities;

Also, the type of property should be string if it accepts encoded string?

psalm: $sendMessage->entities with declared type 'array<array-key, TgBotApi\BotApiBase\Type\MessageEntityType>|null' cannot be assigned type 'false|string'

from bot-api-base.
