Comment (by danilo2):

 We discovered now, that the error not always appears in GHCi session. It
 appears if we use following commands:

 :set -XTypeFamilies
 :set -XTemplateHaskell
 :set -XUndecidableInstances
 :set -XFlexibleInstances
 :set -XMultiParamTypeClasses
 :m + Language.Haskell.TH

 data Vector = Vector
 let test x = x
 class Member a f where member :: a -> f
 runQ [d| instance ( y ~ (t->t) ) => Member Vector y where member v = test
 |]

 <interactive>:19:6:
     Exotic predicate type not (yet) handled by Template Haskell
       y ~ (t -> t)
