That one stumps me too. Here is what works: 

#lang typed/racket

(define-struct: (E) Arrow ([arrow : (E -> (Listof E))]))

(: compose-arrows (All (E) ((Arrow E) (Arrow E) -> (Arrow E))))
(define (compose-arrows a b)
  (Arrow (lambda: ((e : E)) ((Arrow-arrow a) (car ((Arrow-arrow b) e))))))

(define-struct: (A) C ([compose : (A A -> A)]))

(: carrow (All (E) (Any -> (C (Arrow E)))))

(define (carrow a)
  (C (inst compose-arrows E)))

(define c (carrow 0))

I am beginning to wonder whether this is a scoping bug. E should be available in the scope of your carrow.
