There is a general invariant that the constraint solver doesn't see TyVars, only TcTyVars. But when checking the generic-default signature of a class, we called checkValidType on the generic-default type, which had the class TyVar free. That in turn meant that it wasn't considered during flattening, which led to the error reported in Trac #11608. The fix is simple: call checkValidType on the /closed/ type. Easy. While I was at it, I added a bunch of ASSERTs about the TcTyVar invariant.
