Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I'm not sure if this is related, but when I tried declaring the above data
 type with {{{infixr 5 :@:}}} first, GHCi fails to parse it:

 {{{
 $ ghci
 GHCi, version 7.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 λ> infixr 5 :@:; data Infix a b = a :@: b deriving Show

 <interactive>:2:1: parse error on input ‘infixr’
 }}}

 It's possible that this bug wouldn't manifest itself if the {{{infixr}}}
 declaration appeared first, but GHCi won't allow this in the first place,
 so it's impossible to tell.
