Bug description

It is possible to reach the "assert false" in Typecore.expand_path with the following code:

module rec X : sig
type t = int * bool
end = struct
type t = A | B
let f = function A | B -> 0
end

Returning the "p" argument instead of failure seems to fix the problem, but I'd prefer if someone more knowledgeable could confirm this is the right fix.

Fixed as suggested in trunk at revision 14757.

I scratched my head a while to understand what is happening:
we are expanding the path of a datatype, so if the environment
is correctly constructed, it can only be a datatype (or an abstract
type is some file is missing).
However, recursive modules may break this invariant by adding
an incoherent equation, which will be detected later.
