Comment(by tsuyoshi):

 When I posted this report, I had been overlooking `TF` in the “actual
 type” part of the error message.  Now the error message at least makes
 some sense.

 (Although I do not fully understand why the code is rejected in the first
 place, I think that I have to understand the algorithm used by the type
 checker to understand this.)

 I am not sure whether this bug report still makes sense or not.  If not,
 please close it.  Sorry about this.
