 When I say

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedLists #-}

 lgo :: [a] -> ()
 lgo [] = ()
 lgo (_:_) = ()
 }}}

 I get

 {{{
 /Users/rae/temp/Bug.hs:4:1: Warning:
     Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
     In an equation for ‘lgo’: Patterns not matched: []
 }}}

 I don't know !OverloadedLists deeply, but that warning surely is
 confusing!

 Happens on both 7.8.3 and 7.10.1.
