ICE: Generic type alias to invalid type crashes during type check on latest stable

[RustyYato]

This also crashes on the latest nightly

playground

use std::marker::PhantomData;

fn _alias_check() {
    WrongImpl::foo(0i32);       // crash
    WrongImpl::<()>::foo(0i32); // fine

This started ICE-ing in 1.27. The first nightly where it's present seems to be nightly-2018-04-28 (there were a lot of missing nightlies in april 2018). Unfortunately there are no available CI artifacts for these old commits to automatically bisect to a PR.
