 Here's the test case:

 {{{
 -- A.hs-boot
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}

 module A where

 type family Id x = r | r -> x where ..
 }}}

 {{{
 -- needed to avoid illegal self-import
 module B where

 import {-# SOURCE #-} A
 }}}

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}

 module A where

 import B

 type family Id x = r | r -> x where
   Id a = a
 }}}

 I get

 {{{
 A.hs-boot:6:1: error:
     Type constructor ‘Id’ has conflicting definitions in the module
     and its hs-boot file
     Main module: type family Id x = r :: * | r -> x where
                      Id a = a
     Boot file:   type family Id x :: *
 }}}

 Even when declaring an abstract closed type family, it should still be
 able to be injective.
