Comment:

 With HEAD, the program from the description now shows the following error
 message:

 {{{
 $ ghc-7.9.20141113 T9201.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling T9201            ( T9201.hs, T9201.o )

 T9201.hs:5:17:
     The first argument of ‘f’ should have kind ‘x1’,
       but ‘a’ has kind ‘y1’
     In the type ‘d a (f a)’
     In the class declaration for ‘MonoidalCCC’
 }}}

 I think this ticket can be closed, once a regression test is added.
