Comment (by thomie):

 Compiling the code from the ticket description now shows only the expected
 error message:
 {{{
 $ ghc-7.9.20141108 test.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Test             ( test.hs, test.o )

 test.hs:11:5:
     Couldn't match type ‘Bool’ with ‘Char’
     Expected type: F Int
       Actual type: Char
     In the pattern: 'x'
     In an equation for ‘bar’: bar 'x' = ()
 }}}

 A regression test is still missing, otherwise this ticket could be closed.
