Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 It appears that this was fixed in GHC 8.2.2, since now the type signature
 has parentheses where it didn't before:

 {{{
 $ ghci -XTypeApplications Bug.hs
 GHCi, version 8.4.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/rgscott/.ghci
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Bug.hs, interpreted )
 Ok, one module loaded.
 λ> :t deferEither @(_ ~ _)
 deferEither @(_ ~ _)
   :: (Typeable w1, Typeable w2) =>
      proxy (w1 ~ w2) -> ((w1 ~ w2) => r) -> Either String r
 }}}

 I'll unmark the test case from its current `expected_broken` state.
