I know how to change the behavior of the method, but doing so would incur a performance penalty. Given that it's been 5 months since the issue was filed (sorry about that!), I'm guessing that the fix is no longer needed. I have therefore updated the doc comment for the method to indicate the state of the implementation. Please reopen the issue if the current implementation is still causing you problems.

I took some times to remember where I wanted to use it :) But finally I found it in zengen. Here is the workaround I have used.

      // final newType = type.substitute4(argumentsTypes);
      final newType = new InterfaceTypeImpl.con1(type.element);
      newType.typeArguments = argumentsTypes;
      return newType;

What do you think ?

Given that what you want is to completely replace the list of arguments, I think that's a fine solution. Another possibility, which isn't necessarily any better would be:
  return type.element.type.substitute4(argumentsTypes);

Added NotPlanned label.
