Comment (by goldfire):

 According to
 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DependentHaskell/Internal#User-
 facingdesignissues these mutterings], we need to abstract over a coercion
 to promote data family instances properly. I haven't paged it all back in,
 but this is an implementation error, not a documentation one.
