Type inference failure when passing a closure in place of a function parameter

pub struct Foo<A,B> {
    f: fn(A, B) -> bool
}

impl<A,B> Foo<A,B> {
    pub fn new(f: fn(A, B) -> bool) -> Foo<A,B> {
        Foo { f: f }
    }
}

fn main() {
    let foo = Foo::<bool,bool>::new(|a,b| -> bool { a && b });
}

main.rs:15:57: 15:58 error: the type of this value must be known in this context
main.rs:15 let foo = Foo::<bool,bool>::new(|a,b| -> bool { a && b });

It does work when changing the code to expect a closure rather than a function, or when passing the expected function, but the error message here is either wrong/misleading, or there's a real bug.

Closures have since been re-done, so this bug is now invalid.
