Comment (by osa1):

 Not sure how much this helps with debugging this, but I found out that
 when compiling this slightly modified program:

 {{{#!haskell
 module Main where

 import Base (AClass (has))
 import Extends (BClass (has))

 data Bar = Bar

 instance AClass Bar where
   has = Bar

 instance BClass Bar where
   has = Bar
 }}}

 GHC prints this:

 {{{
 Main.hs:3:1: warning:
     The import of ‘Base.has’ from module ‘Base’ is redundant

 Main.hs:4:1: warning:
     The import of ‘Extends.has’ from module ‘Extends’ is redundant
 Linking Main ...
 }}}

 This is a test case I generated while trying to figure out if GHC thinks
 both `has` are coming from the same module.
