Gurus, I’d still love to understand exactly what I broke, trying to do it the other way. Any thoughts?

Provide more information.

If you re-read what you sent to the list, you'll find there's nothing to go by.

Things you need to provide:

* actual error messages
* the client code using the type classes
* best of all, minimized but fully compilable code exhibiting the problem
