[Deleted original report]

I have run into this again and it's going to be a problem for improving the pattern matcher's type parameter handling. I don't think it actually has anything to do with tailcalls (although it may), I think that's only where it's being revealed, and it originates in the typer. So I'm reassigning to scala_reviewer to see if it can get another look.

Here is a distillation of the problem.

abstract class Bar[+B] {
}
abstract class C1[+B] extends Bar[B] {  
  private[this] def g(x: C1[B]): Unit = ()

  // this method is fine: notice that it allows the call to g,
  // which requires C1[B], even though we matched on C1[_].
  // (That is good news.)
  private[this] def f1(x: Bar[B]): Unit = x match {
    case x: C1[_] => g(x)
  }
  // this one crashes.
  private[this] def f2(x: Bar[B]): Unit = x match {
    case x: C1[_] => f2(x)
  }
}

The crash:

Exception in thread "main" scala.tools.nsc.symtab.Types$$TypeError: type mismatch;
 found   : C1[_]
 required: Bar[B]
