Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Another example in the same vein:

 {{{#!hs

 module Bug where

 import Data.Coerce
 import Data.Kind

 type Phantom1 p = (forall a b. Coercible (p a) (p b) :: Constraint)

 class Foo a where
   bar :: Phantom1 proxy => proxy a -> Int

 instance Foo Int where
   bar _ = 42

 -- Typecheck
 newtype Age1 = MkAge1 Int
 instance Foo Age1 where
   bar :: forall proxy. Phantom1 proxy => proxy Age1 -> Int
   bar = coerce @(proxy Int  -> Int)
                @(proxy Age1 -> Int)
                bar

 -- Doesn't typecheck
 newtype Age2 = MkAge2 Int
 instance Foo Age2 where
   bar = coerce @(forall proxy. Phantom1 proxy => proxy Int  -> Int)
                @(forall proxy. Phantom1 proxy => proxy Age2 -> Int)
                bar
 }}}
