Comment:

 This bug still fails for me (on a Mac, using GHC 7.5.20120720). But,
 rather curiously, the error message has changed:

 {{{
 Declaration for SList
 Type syonym Polykind.SList:
   Iface type variable out of scope:  a
 Cannot continue after interface file error
 }}}

 Now, {{{a}}} is out of scope, instead of {{{k}}} previously. (Also, there
 is evidently a typo in the word 'syonym' in the error.)

 I have a more elaborate test case (in the style of #7024) if you need it.
