Comment (by goldfire):

 Record-construction syntax is not a special application form, so I
 wouldn't expect this to work. Perhaps we can embellish record-construction
 to enable this syntax, but it would be a change to the grammar.

 This smells similar to #12363, asking for type application on infix
 operators.

 I think the next step here is a ghc-proposal.
