interaction of GADTs and data families: a bug?

Honestly: I don't know.

My example is different from the one shown in #3851 in that it also  
does not work in GHC 6.10 (which even panics instead of giving the  
error 6.12 gives) and in that it uses a data family, not a type family.

Whether or not it is the same "awkward interaction" that causes this  
behaviour is beyond my expertise.

Cheers,
Sebastian
