f-strings are computed in a separate compiler step. This makes their lineno and col_offset information wrong. This is problematic for flake8 which reports problems inside f-strings on the wrong line (typically the first one).
Attached patch fixes the issue.

Thanks for adding so many tests.

I have concerns about following cases.
* f-string containing multiple equivalent subexpressions:
f'{x} {x}'
or
f'''
{x}
{x}
'''
* f-string containing escaped newlines:
f'''\
\
{x}\
\
'''
The tests look slightly verbose and fragile to me. If once the parser will produce more efficient tree (see issue26415), the tests may fail. Needed more tests (for cases mentioned above), and adding them will add more verbose code. Maybe just find the child (or several children) of specific type and check lineno and col_offset only for it and few its children? If this will make the tests simpler. But if tests can't be made simpler, we should live with this.

See also issue 31140: I'm not sure if that case is covered by this issue.

Is there more to do on this issue or can it be closed now?

I think it's fixed. Closing.
