That's just a bad error message.

I think you need this constraint to be propagated all the way down,
for recursive calls, so you need:

extension CollectionType where SubSequence == Self

Or, if you want to allow the toplevel type to differ:

extension CollectionType
  where
  SubSequence : CollectionType,
  SubSequence.SubSequence == SubSequence
