Comment (by monoidal):

 I have simplified a bit further, to 2 files; can be reproduced with

 {{{
 ghc-8.2.1 --make Cogent/Desugar -fforce-recomp -O2
 }}}

 This doesn't appear on ghc 8.4 - likely this was fixed. However, the panic
 depends on many conditions, even small changes to code can make it
 disappear, so it might be worth further investigation.
