Comment:

 Thank you for reporting this bug.  It exposed a nasty bug in the pattern-
 synonym implementation, which I have now fixed.  Nasty in that it's not
 easy to provoke... but I'm sure it would have bitten us soon enough.
 Indeed I'm not even going to add a test case.

 Please merge to 7.8.3 though (along with the corresponding Haddock patch.

 Thanks

 Simon
