 I'm trying out ghc HEAD at 062feee4e7408ad5b9d882e5fed2c700e337db72.

 {{{#!hs

 {-# LANGUAGE ImplicitParams #-}

 import GHC.Types

 f :: (?loc :: CallStack) => Int
 f = let y = length $ getCallStack ?loc
     in if y < 2 then 3 else 4

 f2 :: (?loc :: CallStack) => Int
 f2 = if (length $ getCallStack ?loc) < 2 then 3 else 4

 f3 :: (?loc :: [Int]) => Int
 f3 = let y = length ?loc
     in if y < 2 then 3 else 4
 }}}

 produces:

 {{{
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Bug.hs, interpreted )

 Bug.hs:5:6: warning:
     Redundant constraint: ?loc::CallStack
     In the type signature for:
          f :: (?loc::CallStack) => Int
 }}}

 f3 doesn't produce an error which makes me think it's related to CallStack
 handling. The warning seems accurate: the returned callstack only contains
 the entry at f.
