Yes, I am using 7.8.
I'll also try HEAD now...
... and it works! :-)
Thanks, I am happy now.
Cheers,
Gabor
PS: Would it be worth adding this as a regression test?

You don't say which version of GHC you are using. I assume 7.8.
Yes, you should really get the same behaviour with the surgared and desugared versions.
Happily, with HEAD (and 7.6) it compiles fine without ImpredicativeTypes.
