Simon PJ writes:
 {{{
 module A where
   data A = A { foo :: Int }

 module B where
   import A
   data B = B { foo :: Bool }
   a = A {foo=3}
 }}}
 yields:
 {{{
 ERROR "B.hs":8 - Constructor "A" does not have selected fields in A{foo +=
 3}
 }}}
 Commenting out the declaration of `data B` makes the definition of `a`
 work.
