Comment (by simonpj):

 The odd thing is that it works with 6.4.2 (batch, not GHCi).  Maybe Chris
 can try again?

 My comment about luck is simply that GHC is badly broken when it comes to
 a mixture of type classes and GADTs.  It's something high on my priority
 list, but for you can't rely on it to behave well, or even predictably.
