Comment:

 Here's a version which doesn't require any `TypeInType` voodoo:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-}
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fdefer-type-errors #-}
 module Bug where

 data F x where
   FS :: F (f a) -> F a

 pattern FS' = FS False
 }}}

 This is a regression from GHC 8.4.3:
