Comment (by simonpj):

 > In order to fix this, we'd need to be aware of the fact that a is
 mentioned explicitly in C within kcTyClGroup. Currently, kcTyClGroup
 doesn't have access to this information, however.

 Hmm.  I wonder if we should simply add `a` to the `tyConScopedTyVars` of
 `T`?  And that info ''is'' available in `kcLHsTQTVars` which builds the
 `TcTyCon`.  Richard?

 Maybe that'd fix the gotcha too?
