A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a lambda function is wrapped inside a generic method and such method is being passed as an argument of another method, compiler fails to resolve type of the lambda function.

Surprisingly, it's able to resolve when generics are declared for a class (e.g. MyClass<A>), but fails when generics are declared for a method (e.g. <A> void foo(...)).

See the attached code example.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
