ICE when getting the size of a struct containing itself in an odd way

[pitust]

Code

trait A<Y, N> {
    type B;
}
type MaybeBox<T> = <T as A<T, Box<T>>>::B;
struct P {
    t: MaybeBox<P>
}
impl<Y, N> A<Y, N> for P {
    type B = N;

query stack during panic:
end of query stack
error: aborting due to previous error; 1 warning emitted

The bug happens in here:

rust/compiler/rustc_codegen_llvm/src/context.rs

Line 785 in 4099208

bug!("failed to get layout for `{}`: {}", ty, e)

.

It happens due to an assertion that the error is a LayoutError::SizeOverflow which it isn't i guess.
I think it's related to a type being contained within itself, but not really.

This ICEs since 1.49.0. In 1.48.0, rustc gives the following errors:

rror[E0275]: overflow evaluating the requirement `P: Sized`
 --> <source>:6:8
  |
6 |     t: MaybeBox<P>
  |        ^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `A<P, Box<P>>` for `P`

error: aborting due to previous error

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0275`.

Slightly simplified:

trait A<Y> { type B; }
type MaybeBox<T> = <T as A<T>>::B;

struct P { _t: MaybeBox<P> }

impl<Y> A<Y> for P {
    type B = Box<P>;
}

fn main() {
    let _t: MaybeBox<P>;
}
