Yes, it is a bug. Please report it to the tracker.

Done: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-3562

This is preventing me from creating a DSL like the one shown in the documentation (the HTML builder).

THe problem is in the class object bound:

  protected fun initTag<T : J>(init : T.() -> Unit) : T            where class object T : Factory<T> {

Do not use it, and your DSL will be OK. Our experience with Kara shows that there’s no real need in this particular way of doing builders.
