Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Do you export `x`? I can get the warning you claim with this program,
 which does //not// export `x`, for instance:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
 {-# OPTIONS -Wunused-top-binds #-}
 module Foo (U) where

 import Data.Text (Text)

 data U = Text :+++ Text

 x :: U
 x = "ss" :+++ "ss"
 }}}

 However, this is correct behavior, since `x` is not used anywhere (and
 therefore `:+++` is transitively not used), so I'm still not sure what the
 bug is.
