Comment (by simonpj):

 You are dead right ... this is not what GHC usually does.

 But it's harder here.  The renamer re-organises an `mdo` into strongly-
 connected components, and therefore adds `rec` statements.  This message
 comes from the type checker, which now doesn't know the original program.
 Not great. I'm not sure the best way to fix.
