Comment (by goldfire):

 I don't, at the moment. But I conjecture they're possible. The "infinite"
 case would correspond to programs that aren't writable in Agda/Coq/Idris
 due to their universe hierarchy. I hear tell of programmers running into
 this limitation occasionally, but I don't know if the cases are
 pathological or not.
