Comment (by simonpj):

 Current error message is a bit better
 ```
 T12564.hs:18:3: error:
     • Illegal type synonym family application ‘Len @a _1’ in instance:
         At @a ((':) @a x _1) ('FZ @(Len @a _1))
     • In the equations for closed type family ‘At’
       In the type family declaration for ‘At’
    |
 18 |   At (x ': _) FZ = x
    |   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 ```
