Regression: failure of TypeVar in recursive struct with `NTuple` field

[MilesCranmer]

When using NTuple in a recursive type, there is a failure of TypeVars to apply:

julia> struct A{N}
           children::NTuple{N,A{N}}
       end

julia> fieldtypes(A{2})
(Tuple{A, A},)

However, this should be Tuple{A{2}, A{2}}.

Consider NTuple by itself:

julia> NTuple{2,Array{Float64,2}}
Tuple{Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}}

You can use this in structs if it is not recursive:

julia> struct A{N}
           children::NTuple{N,Array{Float64,N}}
       end

julia> fieldtypes(A{2})
(Tuple{Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}},)

However, if the type is recursive, the typevar fails to apply in the type parameters.

While this fails on 1.10.4, this works on 1.6.7.

This works on 1.6.7, so seems to be a regression:

julia> struct A{N}
           children::NTuple{N,A{N}}
       end

julia> fieldtypes(A{2})
(Tuple{A{2}, A{2}},)

On 1.7.3 it seems to infinitely hang.
