TypeInType Compile-time Panic

I've been playing around with GHC 8.0.1-rc4 release and got a panic from the following (stripped down) code:

{-# LANGUAGE TypeInType #-}

data Nat = Z | S Nat

class C (n :: Nat) where
  type T n :: Nat
  f :: (a :: T n)
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 8.0.0.20160421 for x86_64-apple-darwin):
