ICE when using 'impl Trait' with an infinity recursive function

[lszxb]

fn main() {
    test();
}

fn test() -> impl TraitA {
    test()
}

trait TraitA {}

Error message

error: internal compiler error: src\librustc_mir\util\elaborate_drops.rs:826: open drop from non-ADT `[type error]`

thread 'rustc' panicked at 'Box<Any>', src\librustc_errors\lib.rs:925:9

Additionally, the compiler warns that the function cannot return.

In 1.37.0 this used to say:

error[E0391]: cycle detected when processing `test::{{opaque}}#0`
 --> <source>:7:14
  |
7 | fn test() -> impl TraitA {
  |              ^^^^^^^^^^^
  |

note: ...which requires processing `test`...
 --> <source>:7:26
  |
7 |   fn test() -> impl TraitA {
  |  __________________________^
8 | |     test()
9 | | }
  | |_^
  = note: ...which again requires processing `test::{{opaque}}#0`, completing the cycle

note: cycle used when checking item types in top-level module
 --> <source>:3:1
  |
3 | fn main() {
  | ^^^^^^^^^

error[E0720]: opaque type expands to a recursive type
 --> <source>:7:14
  |
7 | fn test() -> impl TraitA {
  |              ^^^^^^^^^^^ expands to self-referential type
  |
  = note: type resolves to itself


error: aborting due to 2 previous errors

I'm tagging this as E-needs-bisection -- it'd be good to know exactly what broke this!
