Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Here's a version which doesn't require installing `aeson`:

 {{{#!hs

 module Bug2 where

 import Language.Haskell.TH

 data Options = Options
     { fieldLabelModifier :: String -> String
     , constructorTagModifier :: String -> String
     , allNullaryToStringTag :: Bool
     , omitNothingFields :: Bool
     , sumEncoding :: SumEncoding
     , unwrapUnaryRecords :: Bool
     }

 data SumEncoding =
     TaggedObject { tagFieldName      :: String
                  , contentsFieldName :: String
                  }
   | ObjectWithSingleField
   | TwoElemArray

 deriveJSON :: Options -> Name -> Q [Dec]
 deriveJSON _ _ = return []
 }}}

 {{{#!hs
 -- Bug.hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 module Bug where

 import Bug2
 import Language.Haskell.TH

 data Bad = Bad { _bad :: String } deriving (Eq, Ord, Show)

 $(deriveJSON defaultOptions{} ''Bad)
