Comment:

 Regression from 7.10. Here is a reproducer:

 A.hs:
 {{{#!hs
 {-# Language TemplateHaskell #-}
 {-# Language DisambiguateRecordFields #-}
 -- DisambiguateRecordFields (or RecordWildCards) is necessary
 -- to trigger the bug.

 module A where

 import B hiding (Block)  -- Hiding "Block" is necessary to trigger the
 bug.

 b = $(block)

 {-
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 8.0.1 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         find_tycon
   Block
   []
 -}
 }}}

 B.hs:
 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 module B where

 import Language.Haskell.TH

 data Block = Block
     { blockSelector :: ()
     }

 block :: Q Exp
 block =
     [| Block {
          -- Using record syntax is neccesary to trigger the bug.
          blockSelector = ()
        }
     |]
 }}}

 CC adamgundry, as he was the last to touch `find_tycon`.

 The discussion in ticket:11228#comment:4 seems relevant.
