Which version of elixir-otp-erlang can we use with dialyzer?

Background

The newest version of Elixir (1.7.X) has a bug that prevents the usage of dialyzer 16.

Now, I am aware that some previous versions were free from this problem, but I don’t know which ones.

What I tried

I have tested the following builds:

1.7.2-otp-21
1.7.3-otp-21
1.7.4-otp-21

All failed to work properly.

The bug can be reproduced with the MWE:

Question

What is the latest version of elixir-otp-erlang that is not affected by this bug?

I'm not sure what is your other setup, but as I mentioned before, for me it works with the following:

$ mix dialyzer

I wrote a script (using official docker images) to test against all 1.7 versions and all of them failed.

The lasted version that works seems to be 1.6.6.
