[erlang-questions] Non terminating Dialyzer invocation in R16B03-1

Hi

I'm having an interesting issue with Dialyzer in R16B03-1

-module(barf).

-record(rec, {version}).

-opaque rec() :: #rec{version :: pos_integer()}.

-export_type([rec/0]).
-export([a/1]).

a(#rec{version = 1} = A) -> A;
a(A) when is_tuple(A) -> b(1, A).

b(_, {rec, 1} =Rec) -> Rec.

dialyzer --verbose --no_check_plt --no_native --plt mini_plt
~/slask/barf.erl

This will never terminate and there is 100% CPU load.

If I swap out opaque to type, it terminates or if I remove the pattern
matching on Rec in b/2 it works.

Any ideas why this is?

Further more, Dialyzer can handle this in 17.3.
