Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Another example of this phenomenon:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE EmptyCase #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}
 module Bug where

 import Data.Void

 type family F a
 type instance F Int = Void

 fun :: F Int -> a
 fun x = case x of
 }}}

 Compiling this program yields no warnings, as expected. However, if you
 factor out the `Int` part like so:

 {{{#!hs
 fun :: i ~ Int => F i -> a
 }}}

 Then it will yield a warning:
