Regression introduced in 2.11.9 by scala/scala#5730, sadly not fixed in 2.11.10. (2.12.2 PR: scala/scala#5816) First compile: ``` trait Companion { def apply(value: String): Any = ??? } ``` Then, with the previously compiled trait on the classpath, compile: ``` object o extends Companion case class o(value: String) ``` Crash: ``` error: Unknown type: <error>, <error> [class scala.reflect.internal.Types$ErrorType$, class scala.reflect.internal.Types$ErrorType$] TypeRef? false while compiling: o.scala during phase: icode ```
