Comment(by guest):

 I simplified the testcase, the problem is with newName, not the higher
 kind.

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 module Test where
 import Language.Haskell.TH

 instanceVar = $(do
                  xName <- newName "x"
                  instanceType <- [t| $(varT xName) |]
                  _ <- reifyInstances ''Eq [instanceType]
                  undefined
                )
 }}}
