Comment #1 on issue 327 by vogt.adam: Layout.SubLayouts does not work with  
Layout.Combo
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=327

It's a known and difficult issue that not all layouts can be nested within  
others.

As described here, decorated layouts must not be used as the inner layout:
http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-SubLayouts.html#3

Instead, use
http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-SubLayouts.html#v%3AsubTabbed
(or it's pieces) with a more pure layout, if you want decorations.

I believe that this can be type-system enforced by choosing a different  
type for the
inner layout to manage (ex. Int) which is just as Combo does (currently it  
is
Window), but I guess that isn't a substitute for a larger disclaimer (since  
the
errors would suggest to write the missing instance).
