Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Here's another way to trigger (what I believe to be) the same issue:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
 module Bug where

 import Data.Kind

 type KindOf (a :: k) = k

 data T :: forall j (a :: j). KindOf a -> Type where
   MkT :: forall k (b :: k). T b
 }}}
