Comment (by wvv):

 May be I misunderstood, it looks like this case is a part of 'infinite
 type':
 {{{
 > let u x = (x,u)

 <interactive>:33:14:
     Occurs check: cannot construct the infinite type:
       t1 = t0 -> (t0, t1)
     In the expression: u
     In the expression: (x, u)
     In an equation for `u': u x = (x, u)
 }}}
