Comment (by rwbarton):

 I think the behavior of when to expand/simplify type families may have
 changed intentionally in 7.10, but simplifying the type only as far as
 `Num a => Vec (2 + 1) a` certainly looks weird.

 I also note that the behavior is different if the value is first bound to
 a variable:
 {{{
 *Main> let x = (3:>4:>5:>Nil)
 *Main> :t x
 x :: Num a => Vec 3 a
 }}}
