[racket] JSExprs and hashtables

I managed to fix this for your example by inserting these 3 lines into typed-racket/types/remove-intersect.rkt after line 67:
         [(list-no-order (Value: (not (? hash?)))
                         (or (? Hashtable?) (? HashtableTop?)))
          #f]
There is probably a better solution though.
