I'm inclined to think John is right, thought the Report could be

I'll open a GHC sourceforge bug for this.

| The intention in the report was to match in the order listed in the
| pattern - you need not consult the data declaration to understand the
| ordering.  I think the report is clear enough - it's just a bug in
