In DsMeta (in the source code for GHC itself), there's an import

  import qualified OccName

With -fwarn-unused-imports we get the warning

deSugar/DsMeta.hs:45:0:
    Warning: Module `OccName' is imported, but nothing from it is used,
               except perhaps instances visible in `OccName'
             To suppress this warning, use: import OccName()

But that's wrong: there are several uses of things imported from OccName.

I tried to reproduce this in a much smaller program, and failed, so something not entirely trivial is happening. Hence this ticket, to make sure we don't forget.
