Issue Description:

The following code compiles in Xcode 13.2 but not 13.3b1, 13.3b2, 13.3b3 nor 13.3 RC.

Module A will compile, but Module B will not and fail with the following error:

ModuleB.swift:11:8: type 'ModuleBFoo' does not conform to protocol 'DefaultsSerializable'

ModuleA.swift:12:20: ambiguous inference of associated type 'Bridge': 'BridgeStructSerializable<ModuleBFoo>' vs. 'BridgeStructRawRepresentable<ModuleBFoo>'

ModuleA.swift:18:16: matching requirement '_defaults' to this declaration inferred associated type to 'BridgeStructSerializable<ModuleBFoo>'

ModuleA.swift:22:16: matching requirement '_defaults' to this declaration inferred associated type to 'BridgeStructRawRepresentable<ModuleBFoo>'

Note that `ModuleAFoo` does not run into the same issue.

(Also, Xcode will fail to surface the underlying issue in the Issue Navigator most of the time and just show "type 'ModuleBFoo' does not conform to protocol 'DefaultsSerializable'")

Module A

public protocol DefaultsBridge {
    associatedtype T
}


public struct BridgeStructSerializable<T: Codable>: DefaultsBridge {
}


public struct BridgeStructRawRepresentable<T: RawRepresentable>: DefaultsBridge {
}


public protocol DefaultsSerializable {
    associatedtype Bridge: DefaultsBridge


    static var _defaults: Bridge { get }
}


public extension DefaultsSerializable where Self: Codable {
    static var _defaults: BridgeStructSerializable<Self> { return BridgeStructSerializable() }
}


public extension DefaultsSerializable where Self: RawRepresentable {
    static var _defaults: BridgeStructRawRepresentable<Self> { return BridgeStructRawRepresentable() }
}


public struct ModuleAFoo: Codable, DefaultsSerializable {
}

Module B

import Foundation
import MyLibrary


struct ModuleBFoo: Codable, DefaultsSerializable {
}

Comment by Alfons (JIRA)

I also see this error appear in Xcode 13.2.1 (type Xyz does not conform to protocol Zyx), but only for "release" builds, i.e. suggestive of compiler settings; hard to reproduce right now.
(And only for protocols that define `static` property requirements).

We're also seeing this issue: sindresorhus/Defaults#93

Still reproducible in Xcode 13.3 final...

[swift-ci]

Comment by Weston Mitchell (JIRA)

I am also seeing this error in Xcode 13.3 final

Comment by JB Parrett (JIRA)

Ditto above comments - seeing the error on Xcode 13.3. Have reverted back to 13.2.1 in order to continue development.

Comment by Ky (JIRA)

I'm still having this issue in Xcode Version 13.3.1 (13E500a)

This still reproduces w/ Swift 5.7 and Xcode 14.0.1 (14A400)
