Comment:

 I can reproduce. This indeed appears to be a bug in 7.8.4. But I'm not
 motivated to really get to the bottom of it. I think the correct behavior
 is to turn off `-dcore-lint`. It does seem to me that the bug is in the
 process of reading an iface file and setting kinds appropriately...
 although such a bad bug should have been more prominent.

 In any case, I think the current codebase for GHC is fine, so I'm closing
 this as wontfix, given that it relates to a no-longer-supported version of
 GHC.
