Are you certain of that? Since it is in wiredInTyCons it will never get into GHC/Types.hi, nor will it be read from the interface file, so GHCi could never know that in the source file it was declared with data.
I am relatively certain, but didn’t try it out right now. I just opened a bug about it: #8894, maybe I’ll work on it when I have some quiet minutes, but not right now. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8888#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
