Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Here's a somewhat smaller example that also loops at compile-time:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilyDependencies #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeInType #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
 module Bug where

 data G (x :: a) = GNil | GCons (G x)

 type family F (xs :: [a]) (g :: G (z :: a)) = (res :: [a]) | res -> a
 where
   F (x:xs) GNil         = x:xs
   F (x:xs) (GCons rest) = x:F xs rest
 }}}
