Similar to previous report of mine #9834 (closed). Given error.hs

data I a = I a

I get the following result:

$ ghci -fdefer-type-errors -ignore-dot-ghci error.hs 
GHCi, version 7.10.0.20150316: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( error.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
