le symbole _ dans le type ('_a et non 'a) indique qu'il s'agit d'un type
statique qui doit cependant attendre le premier appel de la fonction
pour etre resolu et assigne definitivement (le type int dans ton 
exemple).
Si tu veux preserver le polymorphisme des fonctions un et deux, declare
les arguments explicitement, c-a-d

let un = fun f x -> succ zero f x;;
val un : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b = <fun>

let deux = fun f x -> succ un f x;;
val deux : ('a -> 'a) -> 'a -> 'a = <fun>

Alors, tu obtiens bien :

deux (fun x -> x) 0;;
- : int = 0

mais toujours

deux;;
- : ('a -> 'a) -> 'a -> 'a = <fun>

Je trouve que ca se sait...
