 I have

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds, TypeFamilies, ScopedTypeVariables #-}

 module Bug where

 class C (a :: k) where
   type F (a :: k)
   type F (a :: k) = Int
 }}}

 Compiling gives me

 {{{
 Bug.hs:7:11:
     The signature specified kind ‘k1’, but ‘a’ has kind ‘k2’
     In the type ‘(a :: k)’
     In the type instance declaration for ‘F’
     In the class declaration for ‘C’
 }}}

 The error is on the line declaring the default associated type for `F`.
 This happens in both 7.8.2 and HEAD. Having !ScopedTypeVariables causes no
 change, but I put it in the example to emphasize that adding
 !ScopedTypeVariables is not the solution.
