Just two clues, pointing towards `b` being monomorphic as one
ontributing factor:

* adding {-# LANGUAGE NoMonoLocalBinds #-} works.
* giving `b` a standalone type signature makes it work, that is:
    let
        b :: forall x y. Foo x y -> Bool
        b = g (a :: Maybe String)

I'm not sure how enabling GADTs affects type-checking here.
