Comment (by goldfire):

 Good point. But perhaps it's worth deviating from the report desugaring in
 the case where the LHS of the `<-` is a bare variable. Desugaring `a <- b;
 c` to `b >>= \a -> c` instead of the more verbose version seems to have
 the same runtime semantics but perhaps better compile-time behavior.

 Though this isn't ruining my day, as such, I'll name myself as a Real
 Client, for once, as this happened while doing something other than
 directly trying to befuddle GHC.
