Potentially confusing syntax for injective type families

Indeed, this is invalid and GHC rejects this, so I think we're OK here. In case of associated 
types if you want to declare injectivity you need to provide the "| r -> ...." part. Otherwise 
you're declaring a default. This is documented in the User's Guide for 8.0.
