runtime failure when "any T" generic method calls another "any T" generic method

[Brian Goetz]

Looks like a simple bug where some code path in the specializer is 
forgetting to check for "is this uninstantiated?  if so, ignore it and 
fall back to erased."  We've had a few of these before.

Thanks for the bug report.
