Hmm. I think you are saying that
module A where
import B as A(f)
g = True
that is equivalent to
module A( module A ) where ...
which exports all things "x" in scope as "A.x". So it'll export both f and g.
But GHC will report f as unused, but not g. And that's inconsistent. Fair point. Yes, file a ticket. Better still, offer a patch :-).

| Subject: Unused import warning on re-export
|
| I have a module A with no export list, and a function f which from the
| API point of view should part of the export list of A. But f must be
| defined in module B, not module A, due an import cycle. I added this line
| in module A to re-export f from A:
|
| import B as A (f)
|
| This resulted in an unused import warning. That is a problem for us - we
| keep our large code base clean of warnings as a policy.
