Comment (by adamgundry):

 I think you want `DisambiguateRecordFields`. Without it, the 8.4 behaviour
 is correct, isn't it? Indeed `G.X` does not have a field `x` in scope
 (although it does have `G.x`). The error message could be better, perhaps
 suggesting `DisambiguateRecordFields`.

 Note that `DuplicateRecordFields` implies `DisambiguateRecordFields`,
 which is why enabling the former fixes the problem.
