Comment (by goldfire):

 Your non-terminating `Foo` example seems pathological, but what about
 this, somewhat more sensible example:

 {{{
 newtype Bar a = Bar (Either a (Bar a))

 x :: Bar Age
 x = coerce (Bar (Left (5 :: Int)))
 }}}

 This example works in 7.8.2.

 PS: Will contribute to the "Coercible" page in due course. Thanks for
 starting it.
