 The following code fails to compile (as it should)

 {{{#!hs
 data D where
     A :: C => D

 type family C :: Constraint where
     C = 'True ~ 'False

 f :: D -> ()
 f A = ()
 }}}

 with the error "Couldn't match type 'True with 'False".

 This code, however, does compile without an issue:

 {{{#!hs
 data D where
     A :: C => D

 type family C :: Constraint where
     C = TypeError ('Text "error")

 f :: D -> ()
 f A = ()
 }}}

 I feel that this is a bug.
