I don't know how specialised code works in ghc, so I have to ask. Does this actually work? The type of x is never known at the foo' call site, so the specialised version of foo' will only be called if ghc does a run time test on the type when invoking foo'. Does it do that?

Not directly. But you can say
foo (MkC x) = foo' x
foo' :: forall a. C a => a -> ... foo' x = ... {-# SPECIALISE foo' :: Int -> ... #-}
There's no built-in mechanism I'm afraid.
