Comment (by simonpj):

 Ah.  Its seems that
  * this `fromJust` failure is an example of #2417;
  * which is marked as a dup of #1968
  * which was fixed in the HEAD but not 6.10

 GHC 6.10 doesn't support GADTs in associated types, which this test uses.

 It is a still a bug that 6.10 crashes under such circumstances.   Do we
 care enough?  If 6.10 is long-lived, perhaps we do. So pls create a ticket
 for the absence of a decent error message and we can do a 6.10 only patch.

 Simon
