Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Just as well, perhaps the `k` in `$dmeqForallPoly` shouldn't be available
 for visible type application in the first place. Indeed, the code which
 generates `Main.$dmeqForallPoly @(Main.Value)` already
 [http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/d7b17517e26007f537feab490509c0e13e0e239a:/compiler/typecheck/TcInstDcls.hs#l1569
 filters out] invisible type arguments, but it seems that the `k` in
 `$dmeqForallPoly` isn't properly marked as invisible.
