It seems to me that lang_hooks.types_compatible_p should never be called

Which sense of "should" do you mean here? That doing so would be inappropriate, or that it just doesn't ever happen?

The code this patch removes seems appropriate to me. Perhaps we don't currently call this function with reference types, but unless that is part of an interface specification, it's better to be robust and handle any input.
