Indeed I think removing this assert is sufficient for solving the problem in
comment 0.

Since both the formal arg "y" as well as the expression being passed to it
("tmp") are polymorphic, the ts.u.derived points to the class container in both
cases.

Now, the class container of "y" lives in m1, while that of "tmp" lives in m2
(apparently the "use, only" prevents it from being carried over). In principle
this is not a big problem, we just should not assume they are equal ;)

If anything, we could assume that the types themselves (not the class
containers) should be equal. But firstly, even this may not be strictly
necessary (I'm not 100% sure right now), and secondly such conditions should
have been checked by the present argument checking machinery.
