question about enhanced type-inference

I have been experimenting with migrating some code to compile with javac
8's new graph inference algorithm. This has generally gone quite smoothly,
but I ran into the following case where inference succeeds with legacy
inference and fails with graph inference.

Is this a known limitation of the new inference algorithm?

Here's the code:

===

interface Task<E extends Exception> {}
class Comparator<T> {}
class CustomException extends Exception {}

class TaskQueue<E extends Exception, T extends Task<E>> {}

abstract class Test {
  abstract <E extends Exception, T extends Task<E>>
      TaskQueue<E, T> create(Comparator<? super T> comparator);

  void f(Comparator<Task<CustomException>> comp) {
    TaskQueue<CustomException, Task<CustomException>> queue = create(comp);
  }
}
