Comment (by kanetw):

 Ok, so the source of the problem lies in RnExpr.hs:`rnExpr (OpApp ...)`,
 there's a missing case for when we have a record field.

 But now we've got a problem. We're running this during renaming, so we
 don't have the corresponding `Id` yet, only a `Name`. If the record field
 is `Unambiguous`, that's not a problem -- `PostRn Name Name = Name`. But
 if it's `Ambiguous`, `PostTc Name Name = PlaceHolder`, i.e. we have no way
 of getting the name.

 The `Unambiguous` case is easy, and that'd solve this ticket. But we need
 to deal with the `Ambiguous` case, too.
