Correct regression in type-inference caused by failing to reconfirm that

the object trait matches the required trait during trait selection.  The
existing code was checking that the object trait WOULD match (in a
probe), but never executing the match outside of a probe.

This corrects various regressions observed in the wild, including
issue #26952. Fixes #26952.
