Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Indeed, the renamer normally catches things like `type T = _`, so the
 typechecker never has a chance to get its claws on it. This same
 phenomenon can also be observed in other places where wildcards are
 disallowed (for example, `instance C (Maybe $([t| _ |]))` also gives the
 same internal error).
