Comment:

 Ah, I was not aware of that ticket! Thanks, kosmikus.

 As noted in the original comment, there are really two bugs here:

 1. The lack of reporting about type class constraints in typed hole error
 messages. This, as it turns out, is essentially a duplicate of #9091.
 2. The incorrect "valid substitution" suggestions. I move to make this
 ticket about that portion specifically. To this end, I've cc'd Tritlo, the
 author of these valid substitution suggestions.
