Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I'm not immediately sure what's wrong, but it doesn't seem specific to
 `Generic1`. In fact, you can get the same error if you change `Generic1`
 to `Functor`, `Foldable`, or `Traversable`. It seems that something about
 typeclasses with kind `(* -> *) -> Constraint` triggers this, since I can
 derive `Eq`, `Ord`, `Read`, `Show`, `Data`, and `Lift` for `G Int b Float
 d` without any issue.

 Another clue is that `data instance F A a = AData a deriving Generic1`
 works fine, but `data instance F b a = AData a deriving Generic1` triggers
 this error, so you need at least one type variable in a data instance for
 this to happen. Perhaps the type variable in the data family declaration
 and the type variable in the data family instance have conflicting
 `Unique`s when reversed?
