Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I'm a bit lost here. Your "reduced" example seems to be asking a lot more
 out of GHC than what the original example demands! That is, the original
 example is simply:

 {{{#!hs
 class A t where
   f :: forall x m. Monoid x => t m -> m

 instance A [] where
   f :: forall x m. Monoid x => [m] -> m
   f = blah
 }}}

 No superclass relationships. No argument swizzling. I'd be content with
 just this, since that's all that `DefaultSignatures` needs! Does that make
 the problem easier?
