I finally got a chance to take a look at this, sorry for the delay.

This is not a bug in Typed Racket; you aren't creating enough streams.
 I don't fully understand how iteratees are supposed to work, but
roughly, you're trying to produce and (Iteratee A (Iteratee A D)).
For a `Continue` structure to match this, its `step` function has to
take `(Stream A)` as input, and produce `(Iteratee A (Iteratee A D))`.
 However, the `iter` value that you're producing is of type `(Iteratee
A D)`, which isn't what you want.  Your `tee` function produces an
iteratee that, I think, always stays at the beginning of its argument,
which isn't what you want.

What would `A` be bound to here?  Do you want the result to be (All
(A) (Enumerator Integer A))?  If so, you'll need to change the type of
`enumerator/list` to:
    (: enumerator/list (All (D) (Listof D) -> (All (A) (Enumerator D A))))

That will require some other changes in the rest of the `samples.rkt`
file, it looks like.
