 The testcase I attached compiles and runs on MS.NET, and doesn't throw
 any exception.

+It does throw an exception if you have a broken Comparer<T>.Default
+implementation.  Before I fixed it, Comparer<T>.Default returned an
+instance of
+
+----
+class IComparableOfT<T> : Comparer<T> where T : IComparable
+{ .... }
+----
+
+this is wrong because ClassA only implements IComparable<T> and not
+IComparable - so the constraint is not met.  The bug is that our
+runtime doesn't catch this.
+
+I fixed that to
+
+----
+class IComparableOfT<T> : Comparer<T> where T : IComparable<T>
+{ .... }
