Comment (by nomeata):

 >  Yes, but then you said "..I would have expected that tcLookup :: Name
 -> TcM TcTyThing (no Global in the name) would consult the local
 environment. ... somehow did not help"

 yes, but I was not using it in all the places I should have – that
 bizzarness was simply a mistake by me, sorry for the confusion.

 About `$tcArithException :: TyCon` – this value lives in `GHC.Exception`,
 but obviously it is not present in the Haskell source. Which phase is
 responsible for synthesizing these values? It seems that they are
 synthesized and added after `TcInteract` resolves the `Typeable`
 constraints (or, if they are created earlier, they are not added to the
 type checker’s local environment).
