This is by design, for better or worse. See #7296 for an explanation. I'm sure the fix -- that is, redesign -- for that ticket and this one will be the same, but I think it's worth leaving both tickets open, as the examples are slightly different.
Duplicates tickets slow down sweeps of the bug tracker. Since #7296 references this ticket, I think it's safe to close this one. Yell if you disagree! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9820#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
