Comment:

 I think this may be related, but in this case I can't see what rule I
 could possibly write that would fire:

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
 type family Unit a :: *
 type instance Unit Integer = ()

 {-# INLINE [1] int #-}
 {-# RULES "int" int = fromInteger :: Integer -> Int #-}

 -- int :: (Integral i, Unit i ~ ()) => i -> Int -- doesn't fire
 int :: (Integral i) => i -> Int -- fires
 int = fromIntegral
 }}}
