Comment (by simonpj):

 >  Looking at the ​Haskell Prime wiki entry for Recursive Do, this seems
 to be the relevant bit: That is, a variable used before it is bound is
 treated as recursively defined, while in a Haskell 98 do-statement it
 would be treated as shadowed.

 So it looks as if GHC is following the specification.  Are you proposing a
 different specification?  And if so, what is it?
