`InexactError` when trying to differentiate `ODEProblem` using `LabelledArrays`

El informe apunta a recursive_unitless_bottom_eltype en RecursiveArrayTools y a init de ODEProblem; comienza reproduciendo la comparación LVector/Vector proporcionada y sigue el stack trace hasta la caché de Tsit5 de OrdinaryDiffEq. Se considera terminado cuando la llamada final a ForwardDiff.gradient se completa sin InexactError, mientras el caso Vector sigue funcionando.

It looks like the source of the problem is that recursive_unitless_bottom_eltype from RecursiveArrayTools is inferring an Int64 type rather than a Float64 type from the Dual of a LabelledArray. This is happening somewhere inside ODEProblem's __init.

Note that this works fine if you switch from LVector to Vector for the parameter/initial-condition arrays.

pars = @parameters  β α
@variables t E(t)
D = Differential(t)

eqs = [D(E) ~ α*t + β]
sys = ODESystem(eqs)

u0 = LVector(E = 1.0)
p = LVector(β = 0.8,
            α = 0.75)
tspan = (0.0,1.0)
sys = structural_simplify(sys)
prob = ODEProblem(sys,u0,tspan,p)

function loss(inputs)
    N = length(prob.p)
    _p = inputs[1:N]
    _u0 = inputs[N:end]
    tmp_sol = solve(prob,Tsit5(),p=_p,u0=_u0,saveat=0.1)
    sum(abs2,tmp_sol[E])
end

#Substitute a subset of the parameters/initial-conditions into the full set
inputter(par_vec) = LVector(β = p[1], α = par_vec[1], E = par_vec[2])
p0 = LVector(α = 1.0, E = 0.5)
dummy_loss(par_vec) = sum(abs2,par_vec)

ForwardDiff.gradient(x->dummy_loss(inputter(x)),p0) #works
ForwardDiff.gradient(dummy_loss,inputter(p0)) #Works
ForwardDiff.gradient(loss,inputter(p0)) #Works
ForwardDiff.gradient(x->loss(inputter(x)),p0) # Error
