So it appears the `Missing` item is correct, but it has been given the wrong SrcSpan. Originally it was a `noLoc`.

I think I will just advance the column by one, then it is actually correct, and the annotation lookup will only succeed for the first one, so it will all just work.

Comment (by mpickering):

 I think you're right Simon. There is something wrong with the annotations
 though, firstly both the Missing elements have the same SrcSpan `L
 tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:24`.

 {{{
  ((tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:8, AnnComma),
    [tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:9]),
   ((tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:11-17, AnnComma),
    [tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:18]),
   ((tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:20-22, AnnComma),
    [tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:23]),
   ((tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:24, AnnComma),
    [tests/examples/Tuple.hs:3:24]),
 }}}

 Here are the relevant annotations. Notice how the first three commas are
 associated with the preceding item (much like they are for lists) but the
 last one is associated directly with the `Missing`. As both `Missing`s
 have the same SrcSpan then this is causing duplicated output in `ghc-
 exactprint`.
