I was about to post this exact example.

do
  x <- return 1
  x <- return x
  return x

seems to work just fine (the answer is 1).  I'd even be ok with =-in-do being non-recursive like <-

Would expanding each let-less binding to a separate let "feel" more

That was actually my first idea, but then two declarations at the same
level will not be in the same binding group, so

do x = y
   y = 1

would not compile. This would create a difference with all the other
places where bindings may appear.

But it would be in line with <- bindings in the do notation, so maybe it wouldn't feel so wrong.
