 This looks like a regression in GHC HEAD.

 {{{
 Test/SmallCheck/Property.hs:187:10:
     Could not deduce (Monad n)
       arising from the superclasses of an instance declaration
     from the context: (Monad m, m ~ n)
       bound by the instance declaration
       at Test/SmallCheck/Property.hs:187:10-52
     Possible fix:
       add (Monad n) to the context of the instance declaration
     In the instance declaration for ‘Testable n (Property m)’
