Panic with repSplitAppTys

I get a GHC panic while compiling a rather large module that contains a fairly simple function:

import Control.Monad.Reader
usingReader ::
  (Monad m) =>
  r ->
  (a -> ReaderT r m b)
  (a -> m b)
usingReader r f = flip runReaderT r . f

Unfortunately, that function alone in a module does not trigger the panic. The error message is:

ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 8.2.1 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
	repSplitAppTys
