Inconsistent Crash while resolving #227

Description

We're seeing a crash in DIP when creating the initial view controller which through it's references winds up trying to resolve a type which results in a crash. This type can be described as such (using made-up names to simplify):

struct Configuration {}

protocol Foo {}

open class SuperClass: Foo {
   var configsByUser: [String: Configuration] = []
}

class SubClass: SuperClass {}

We register SubClass into the dependency container using the type Foo. When we resolve, there seems to be a crash at

guard let injectedPropertyBox = child.value as? AutoInjectedPropertyBox else { return }

In this specific case it seems to be trying to deal with the property configsByUser above. In the debugger I am able to see the following:

(lldb) po type(of: child.value)
Swift.Dictionary<Swift.String, Configuration>

It seems that the data in the Mirror is neither AutoInjectedPropertyBox nor ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional. Accessing child.value at all seems to crash as the debugger cannot do anything with it beyond querying the type as far as I can tell. I saw https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-2282 that you filed but that doesn't seem to be the same issue.

I'm unsure if this shows a problem with how things are registered or what but I wasn't sure how to chase this further. Any input would be greatly appreciated as this error happens very frequently in the simulator which is destroying our automated testing. We do not think we've seen this at all on an actual device so that could be another data point.
