Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 If you don't use a typed hole:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeInType #-}
 module Bug where

 import Data.Kind
 import Data.Proxy

 foo :: forall (a :: Type)
               (f :: forall (x :: a). Proxy x -> Type).
        Proxy f -> ()
 foo _ = ()
 }}}

 Then it compiles. However, it fails with a Core Lint error:

 {{{
