Core should work in the toplevel, why is it failing?

You need to help the typer a bit:

let lookup : type a. dict -> a key -> a option = fun d k ->
  let rec find = function
  | [] -> None
  | B (k', v) :: bs ->
      match eq k k' with
      | None -> find bs
      | Some Eq -> Some (v :> a)
  in
  find d
