The first of these is defensible, I think. It's not at all clear
(to me anyway) what pattern bindings for existentially-quantified
constructors should mean.
The second is plain bogus. GHC should never give a message like
that. Which version of the compiler are you using? If you
can send a small example I'll try it on the latest compiler.
