[Haskell-cafe] Warnings with OverloadedLists

Hello,
I've bumped into strange GHC behaviour with OverloadedLists and
pattern matching. Consider this example:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedLists #-}
len :: [a] -> Int
len [] = 0
len (_:t) = 1 + len t
If I load this with "ghci -Wall", I get a warning:
Test.hs:4:1: Warning:
Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
In an equation for ‘len’: Patterns not matched: []
If I disable OverloadedLists extension, warning goes away. Can someone
clear this behaviour out for me? It looks like a bug, but I'm not
sure.
Thanks for help,
Nikolay.
