It is, on page 35 (section 11.6.3) of "Typing Haskell in Haskell" by
Mark Jones.
Quote:
"This is a consequence of a throw-away comment specifying that all
explicit type signatures in a binding group must have the same context
up to renaming of variables. This is a syntactic restriction that can
easily be checked prior to type checking. Our comment here, however,
suggest that it is unnecessarily restrictive."
I agree with Mark Jones, the Haskell compiler Helium for example doesn't
have this restriction.
I think this issue is also related to the following Haskell' ticket:
