Comment (by mpickering):

 I put the test up on phab. https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3535

 The problem is in TcPat.find_field_ty but I can't see how to cleanly fix
 it.

 In the renamer we don't care yet whether a record selector is the right
 one for the data constructor. When we check in the type checker, all the
 verify is that the `OccName` of the selector is one of the field labels of
 the right data constructor. We don't compare `Name`s at all like we should
 do because of something to do with ORF.
