Comment:

 I've narrowed this down further, to a probable bug in the typechecker.
 Core lint finds the error, and GHCi isn't required.  Code:

 {{{
 h :: f a b -> f a b
 h x = x

 main = print (h ['a'])
 }}}

 yields:

 {{{
 *** Core Lint Errors: in result of Desugar ***
 <no location info>:
     In the expression: Main.main @ (GHC.IOBase.IO ())
     Main.main is out of scope
 *** Offending Program ***
 Rec {
 :Main.main :: GHC.IOBase.IO ()
 [Exported]
 []
 :Main.main = GHC.TopHandler.runMainIO @ () (Main.main @ (GHC.IOBase.IO
 ()))
 Main.h :: forall (f_ada :: * -> * -> *) a_adb b_adc.
           f_ada a_adb b_adc -> f_ada a_adb b_adc
 []
 Main.h =
   \ (@ f_adr) (@ a_ads) (@ b_adt) ->
     __letrec {
       h_adu :: f_adr a_ads b_adt -> f_adr a_ads b_adt
       []
       h_adu = \ (x_adg :: f_adr a_ads b_adt) -> x_adg;
     } in  h_adu
 end Rec }

 *** End of Offense ***
 }}}

 The binding for `main` has been thrown away.  HEAD gives a type error
 (correctly, I guess).  The problem manifests in GHCi as a missing binding
 for `it`, which leads to the `nameModule` panic.

 Is this a bug in 6.6.1's typechecker?
