External specification declared on a trait implementation did not resolve to a concrete type

[nishanthkarthik]

I'm trying to test extern_spec for a TryFrom impl. parse_u32 is supposed to prove a cast from a slice to an array. The extern spec currently throws an error internal error: entered unreachable code: External specification declared on a trait implementation did not resolve to a concrete type

extern crate prusti_contracts;
use prusti_contracts::*;

#[extern_spec]
impl<T, const N: usize> std::convert::TryFrom<&[T]> for [T; N]
where T: Copy,
{
    #[inline]
    // <Specifications removed here>
    fn try_from(slice: &[T]) -> Result<[T; N], std::array::TryFromSliceError>;
}

#[requires(a.len() == 4)]
fn parse_u32(a: &[u8]) -> u32 {
    let bytes: Result<[u8; 4], _> = std::convert::TryFrom::try_from(a);
    match bytes {
        Ok(x) => u32::from_le_bytes(x),
        Err(_) => {
            prusti_assert!(false);
            0
        },
    }
}

My goal is to specify try_from such that the assert-false is not triggered. Currently, prusti fails with an ICE
