It'd seem that (at least the online version of) Hoogle is totally broken

It's well-known that the current version of Hoogle doesn't deal well with type constructors, like the 'm' in your type above. However, you're (we're all) in luck, since Neil Mitchell is working on a new version of Hoogle for GSoC as we speak! =)
