Panic in typechecker when checking rules

GHC will panic when given either of the following modules. The error messages are somewhat different for the two different rules.

module GHCBug1 where

foo :: (forall a . a -> f a) -> f Int
foo f = f undefined

{-# RULES
    "bug1"
    forall (g :: a -> f a) .
    head (foo g) = undefined
 #-}
module GHCBug2 where

foo :: (forall a . a -> f a) -> f Int
foo f = f undefined

{-# RULES
    "bug2"
    forall (g :: forall a . a -> f a) .
    head (foo g) = undefined
 #-}
