Comment (by crockeea):

 I've got a new test case for what I assume is this bug. Unfortunately, I
 can't find a workaround in this case.

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses, ScopedTypeVariables,
              ConstraintKinds, KindSignatures, TypeFamilies,
              FlexibleInstances #-}

 import GHC.Prim
 import Control.Monad

 class Unsat (a :: * -> *) c

 class Qux (t :: * -> *) where

   type QCtx t q :: Constraint
   qux :: (QCtx t q, Monad rnd)
                => v -> rnd (t q)

 instance Qux t where
   type QCtx t q = (Unsat t q)

 class (Qux c) => C (c :: * -> *) r

 mymap :: c Double -> c i
 mymap = undefined

 foo :: forall c z v rnd . (C c z, Monad rnd, Num z) => v -> rnd (c z)
 foo svar = liftM mymap $ qux svar

 I've tried a wide array of explicit type sigs on `foo`, but nothing seems
 to make it find the dictionary for `Qux` inherited from `C`. I really need
 a fix for this.
