This is a bug. I'm committing a fix as I type.

Thanks for boiling it down.

Hello

Here is a short example of the GHC 6.5 problem:

type AnyE a = forall err. Either err a
foo :: Monad m = AnyE (m t)
foo = undefined

Works with older versions of GHC 6.5, but newer versions
fail with the:

Illegal polymorphic or qualified type: forall err. Either err (m t)
In the type signature for `foo':
  foo :: (Monad m) = AnyE (m t)
