Per theme in #rust, here's a minimized example exhibiting the same ICE:

trait Foo {
  fn answer(self);
}

struct NoData<T>;

impl<T> Foo for T
where NoData<T>: Foo {
  fn answer(self) {
    let val: NoData<T> = NoData;
  }
}


fn main() {}

foo.rs:10:9: 10:12 error: internal compiler error: coherence failed to report ambiguity: cannot locate the impl of the trait `core::kinds::Sized` for the type `NoData<T>`
foo.rs:10     let val: NoData<T> = NoData;

This also triggers an ICE.

trait Foo { }

struct NoData<T>;

impl<T> NoData<T> where NoData<T>: Foo {
    fn any_fn() {
        let val: NoData<T> = NoData;
    }
}

fn main() { }

The error and backtrace:

The relevant code fragments:

/// Trait of transformation having a rotation extractable as a rotation matrix. This can typically
/// be implemented by quaternions to convert them to a rotation matrix.
pub trait RotationMatrix<N, LV, AV> : Rotation<AV> {
    type Output: Mat<N, LV, LV> + Rotation<AV>;

    /// Gets the rotation matrix represented by `self`.
    fn to_rot_mat(&self) -> Self::Output;
}

/// Builds a rotation matrix from `r`.
#[inline(always)]
pub fn to_rot_mat<N, LV, AV, R: RotationMatrix<N, LV, AV>>(r: &R) -> R::Output {
    r.to_rot_mat()
}

Changing the method call to use function notation, i.e. RotationMatrix::to_rot_mat(r), as indicated in #20414 did not work here.
