Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 This appears to no longer happen on a recent `devel2`-flavoured GHC HEAD:

 {{{
 GHCi, version 8.9.20190227: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/rgscott/.ghci
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( ../Bug.hs, interpreted )

 ../Bug.hs:18:19: error:
     • Expected kind ‘(k0 -> *) -> Constraint’,
         but ‘[]’ has kind ‘* -> *’
     • In the first argument of ‘Build’, namely ‘[]’
       In an expression type signature: Build [] a
       In the expression: rev :: Build [] a

    |                   ^^
 }}}

 Should we add a test case for this and call it fixed?
