Comment (by crockeea):

 Can you confirm in 7.10?

 Since we have no idea what's causing the issue, nor exactly what "this
 situation" is, it's possible this behavior could occur for a less generic
 instance in a situation where the instance constraint can't just be
 trivially promoted to a superclass constraint.
