Incorrect inferred return type for a function that returns a circular type referencing itself

[guncha]

TypeScript Version: master at a633652 (Sep 27, 2016)

Code

interface Fun<T> {
  (value: T)
}

function switcheroo<T>(component: Fun<T>): Fun<T> {
  return component
}

function MyComponent(value: string) {
  return {
    type: OtherComponent
  }
}

export const OtherComponent = switcheroo(MyComponent)

Expected behavior:

Expected type of MyComponent to be (value: string) => {type: Fun<string>} and type of OtherComponent to be Fun<string>

Actual behavior:
Both types are any.

This is likely related or caused by the same thing as #5487 but I thought I'd contribute another test case.
