Wrong type inference for closure with impl Trait inside another type

[antoyo]

Hi.
It compiles with a type annotation as in this code.

fn work() -> impl FnMut(&u32, Option<u32>) -> bool {
    |current, msg| false
}

fn main() {}

This code doesn't compile.

fn doesnt_work() -> Result<impl FnMut(&u32, Option<u32>) -> bool, ()> {
    Ok(|current, msg| false)
}

fn main() {}

error:

error[E0631]: type mismatch in closure arguments
 --> src/main.rs:1:28

Thanks to fix this issue.

Notably, Ok(|current: &_, msg| false) resolves the error. I guess closures in output position for -> impl Fn receive the same special-case treatment from the type checker that those in argument position do?

Triage: I think this is a duplicate of #41078.
