GHC craches on this combination of ViewPatterns and PatternSynonyms

The attached file crashes:

$ ghc Bug.hs 
[1 of 1] Compiling Bug              ( Bug.hs, Bug.o )
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 7.10.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
	Prelude.last: empty list

I wasn't able to shrink the example further despite many attepts.

Tested on GHC 7.8.3 and 7.10.2.
