Comment (by monoidal):

 Smaller example:

 {{{
 module PairMismatch (f) where

 f :: a -> [Maybe a]
 f x =
    let switch l = [l Nothing, l (Just x)]
    in  switch id
 }}}

 While investigating this, I found two more programs that compile with GHC
 7.10 but fail with HEAD, I'm not sure if the cause is the same or
 different.

 {{{
 module PairMismatch2 (f) where

 u :: a
 u = u

 f :: a
 f = let switch l = l u in switch u
 }}}


 {{{
 module PairMismatch3 (f) where

 f :: a
 f = let switch l = l undefined in switch undefined
 }}}
