Comment (by goldfire):
Shamefully, the answer is not to pass the `mb_cls` to the call to
`bindLHsTyVarBndrs` in `rnFamInstEqn` -- always pass `Nothing`. If an
associated class is passed in, then `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` uses the in-scope
class variables, which is not what's wanted here. Really, only
`bindHsQTyVars` should pass a non-`Nothing` in this parameter.
