Comment (by simonpj):

 Yes I think so.  But the real issue is this in
 `SimplEnv.refineFromInScope`:
 {{{
 refineFromInScope :: InScopeSet -> Var -> Var
 refineFromInScope in_scope v
   | isLocalId v = case lookupInScope in_scope v of
                   Just v' -> v'
                   Nothing -> WARN( True, ppr v ) v  -- This is an error!
   | otherwise = v
 }}}
 Notice that we don't look `GlobalId`s up in the in-scope set.  Yet that is
 the mechanism that ensures that in a situation like
 {{{
 let f_2dr[LclId] = blah in ...M.f_2df[GblId]...
 }}}
 (which has a local binding for a `GlobalId`), we transform to
 {{{
 let f_2dr[LclId] = blah in ...f_2df[LclId]...
 }}}
