if it is, please can someone add a new regression example to #12088. You can never have too many.

The problem is that open type family instances aren't used in kind checking in the same region of a module. The workaround is to put a top-level Template Haskell splice > $(return []) between the two type instances. This is far from optimal, but fixing it is a Major Project.
