Comment(by simonpj):
Right. I think you need !IncoherentInstances. With this flag, and the new
typechecker patches, your module compiles ok.
Currently GHC crashes without !IncoherentInstances, for a tiresome reason;
Dimitrios is fixing that.
To make !IncoherentInstances behave as well as possible, we should really
wait until all ''other'' equalities are solved, to minimise the chance of
a bogus choice (as you say). We'll do that in due course.
