GHC Panic related to functional dependencies - kindFunResult

Minimal example:

{-# LANGUAGE 
  MultiParamTypeClasses, DataKinds, FunctionalDependencies, TypeOperators,
  KindSignatures, PolyKinds, FlexibleInstances, FlexibleContexts, UndecidableInstances #-}

import GHC.TypeLits 

data Proxy (a :: k) = Proxy 

class FunctorN n f a fa | n f a -> fa where 
  fmapn :: Proxy n -> Proxy f -> (a -> a) -> fa -> fa

instance FunctorN 0 f a a where 
  fmapn _ _ a = a 

instance (Functor f, FunctorN (n - 1) f a fa) => FunctorN n f a (f fa) where 
  fmapn _ pf f = fmap (fmapn (Proxy :: Proxy (n-1)) pf f)

Crashes with ghc and ghci:

>ghc test

Removing the functional dependency makes the code compile.
