Comment (by goldfire):

 This seems to be yet another way representational equality could,
 theoretically, expand.

 Note that, unlike certain other problems, this isn't a limitation of the
 solver, but of the definition of the equality relation itself. It might be
 helpful to maintain a list of such deficiencies.
