Comment (by Ben Gamari <ben@…>):

 In [changeset:"829b9682969a5dabd3a75b82864c48c2e6a19ee8/ghc"

 Keep the bindings local during defaultCallStacks

 defaultCallStacks generates evidence bindings for call stacks,
 but wasn't setting the binding site correctly.  As a result
 they were simply discarded in the case of pattern synonyms,
 giving rise to Trac #12489.

 The fix is easy; and I added an ASSERT to catch the error earlier.

 (cherry picked from commit f352e5cd7bb629fe0ca3b913bfbe7bee43d62f3a)
