I've finally figured out what was going on here -- when the type
annotation on `ch` is used, Typed Racket figures out that the lifted
procedure has input type `Place`, meaning that a contract like
`(place? . -> . any)` is generated.  Unfortunately, there was a bug
where `place?` was referenced in a helper file for constructing that
contract without a proper `(require (for-template ...))`.  That's what
led to the error, and the confusion here.

I'll push a fix shortly.
