Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I tried to reproduce this error, but I couldn't. I don't know what
 implementations for `FZ` and `FS` you had in mind, so I tried whipping up
 my own example from scratch:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE EmptyCase #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-}
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}
 module T (T(TInt, TBool), tCharAbsurd1) where

 import Data.Void

 data T a where
   MkTInt  :: T Int
   MkTBool :: T Bool

 pattern TInt :: () => n ~ Int => T n
 pattern TInt = MkTInt

 pattern TBool :: () => n ~ Bool => T n
 pattern TBool = MkTBool
 {-# COMPLETE TInt, TBool #-}

 tCharAbsurd1 :: T Char -> Void
 tCharAbsurd1 x = case x of {}
 }}}

 This, however, compiles without any warnings. I even tried using `T` in
 another module:

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

 import Data.Void
 import T

 tCharAbsurd2 :: T Char -> Void
 tCharAbsurd2 x = case x of {}
 }}}

 This too compiles without warning:

 {{{
 $ ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive Bug.hs

 Ok, modules loaded: Bug, T.
 }}}

 How did you get this supposed pattern coverage warning?
