Comment:

 This looks like correct behavior to me. Recall that numbers in Haskell are
 overloaded, meaning that the type of a number `1` is `Num a => a`. Your
 initial expression conses one number onto another -- thus both the element
 and the list type must be in the `Num` type class.

 Please reopen if you see a flaw here somewhere, and thanks for posting!
