Comment:

 Indeed, this is a duplicate of #12088. Note that the same workaround
 applies here: you can use a Template Haskell splice to force the
 dependency analysis to come to its senses. That is, the following
 typechecks (note the addition of the `$(pure [])` bit):

 {{{#!hs
 {-# Language DataKinds    #-}
 {-# Language GADTs        #-}
 {-# Language InstanceSigs #-}
 {-# Language PolyKinds    #-}
 {-# Language TypeFamilies #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 import Data.Kind

 class Category (tag::Type) where
  type Strip tag :: Type

 class Category tag => Stripped tag where
  type Hom tag::Strip tag -> Strip tag -> Type

 instance Category () where
  type Strip () = ()
 instance Stripped () where
  type Hom () = Unit1

 data Unit1 :: () -> () -> Type where U1 :: Unit1 '() '()
 data Tag
 data Unit2 :: () -> () -> Type where U2 :: Unit2 '() '()

 instance Category Tag where
  type Strip Tag = ()

 $(pure [])

 instance Stripped Tag where
  type Hom Tag = Unit1
 }}}
