Comment (by paf31):

 I see, thank you. My understanding of `GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving` in the
 presence of MPTCs was faulty then. I'm a little surprised to hear this is
 the intended behavior, since I find it unintuitive that adding a new type
 class member could change the deriving behavior of existing member, but at
 least now I understand what's going on here.
