Comment (by GregWeber):

 I just tested on 7.10.2 (the docker image which uses the hvr ppa).

 ```
 ➜  th-bug  docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/proj -w /proj haskell:7.10.2 ghc T.hs
 [1 of 2] Compiling Q                ( Q.hs, Q.o )
 [2 of 2] Compiling T                ( T.hs, T.o )

 T.hs:5:1:
     Illegal variable name: ‘type’
     When splicing a TH declaration: ident_0 type_1 = type_1
 ```
