Comment (by bravit):

 Another strange result made visible using `-fprint-explicit-foralls`:

 {{{
 $ ghci -fprint-explicit-foralls
 GHCi, version 7.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

 > let a = [1]

 > :print a
 a = (_t1::Num t => [t])

 > :show bindings
 a :: forall t. Num t => [t] = _
 _t1 :: Num t => [t] = _
 }}}

 It looks like free type variable `t` in the signature of `_t1` causes GHC
 panic while typechecking it. But I can't figure out whether it is a bug of
 rtti type reconstruction in `:print` or incorrect behaviour during
 typechecking.
