Comment:
This is by design, as described in Section 7.2 of the original
[http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/meta-haskell
/meta-haskell.pdf Template Haskell paper].
I agree it's not ideal, but it's not accidental, and I don't know of a
better way.
Hmm. It may be that some of the changes mooted in my
[http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/Template%20Haskell%20Proposal
New directions for Template Haskell] post (which I plan to work in on
August) may change this.
