What I (so vaguely) remember was a compile error, for some reuse of
an identifier where GHC permitted it.  I suppose you're right, anyway,
probably something else - maybe unambiguous nested shadowing?

  let x = t + 1 in
      let y = x in
          let x = y + 1 in x

GHC allows this, and of course there's no recursion.
