hugs / ghc difference over '(..)' imports

There is a difference between hugs and ghc in how they treat imports with the
'(..)' notation. Here's my example:
module CTree(
--other stuff
Const(..)
) where
import ATree (Const)
--const has constructors CInt, CChar, CStr
under hugs this module exports CInt, CChar, CStr
but under ghc it does not. Under ghc it only exports the constructors if I
import 'Const' like this:
import ATree (Const(..))
I don't know which is the right behaviour w.r.t. the H98 standard, but it
tripped me up.
