Broadcasting causes `StackOverflowError` in combination with Tuple

[abraemer]

By chance I found a strange corner case with regard to broadcasting: MWE:

using SparseArrays
v1 = spzeros(5); v2 = spzeros(5);
v1 .= .*(v1, (1,))
v1 .= .*(v2, (1,)) # works
v1 .= .*(v1, v2, Ref(1)) # works
v1 .= .*(v1, v2, (1,)) # ERROR: StackOverflowError:
v1 .= .*(v1, v2, (1,2,3,4,5)) # ERROR: StackOverflowError:

Note that the specific function, here *, is unimportant. This issue occurred with a package originally. Somehow if the function has more than 2 arguments and one of them is a tuple, an infinite recursion happens. Interestingly, a Ref works in-place of the single-element tuple.

Stacktrace:

Some type information was truncated. Use `show(err)` to see complete types.

I observed this on 1.11.1, 1.10.5, 1.9 and 1.6.
