Bug description

The following reduced example:

module M = struct
  module type S = sig type a val v : a end
  type 'a s = (module S with type a = 'a)
end

module B = struct
  class type a = object method a : 'a. 'a M.s -> 'a end
end

module M' = M
module B' = B

class b : B.a = object
  method a : 'a. 'a M.s -> 'a = fun (type a) ((module X) : (module M.S with type a = a)) -> X.v
end

class b' : B.a = object
  method a : 'a. 'a M'.s -> 'a = fun (type a) ((module X) : (module M'.S with type a = a)) -> X.v
end

is not accepted in both 4.02.3 and 4.03.0+trunk (4.03.0+dev11-2015-10-19):

Error: The class type object method a : 'a M'.s -> 'a end
       is not matched by the class type B.a
       The class type object method a : 'a M'.s -> 'a end
       is not matched by the class type object method a : 'a M.s -> 'a end
       The method a has type 'a. 'a M'.s -> 'a but is expected to have type
         'a. 'a M.s -> 'a
       Type 'a M'.s = (module M'.S with type a = 'a)
       is not compatible with type 'a0 M.s = (module M.S with type a = 'a0)

although as module M' is an alias for module M, module types M.S and M'.S actually refer to the same module type.

Fixed in trunk in commit f32db11.

Structural equality on package types only work if the types do not contain free type variables (both Tvar and Tunivar). So we still need to expand the module path for aliases.
