Comment (by phadej):
If I reverse `Data.Binary` and `Data.Binary.Orphans` imports the error
messages stay exactly the same.
What I see, is that GHC 8.0.1 doesn't follow the spec in
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/UnusedImports
> - import Foo dominates import Foo(x). (You could also argue that the
reverse should hold.)

`import Data.Binary.Orphans` should dominate `import Data.Binary (Binary
(..))` when we check where from `Binary` is imported.
Either commentary or implementation is incorrect. I suspect the latter.
