deriving Read fails on infix data constructors with record syntax

The example below successfully performs the show, but reads returns an empty list. It fails in both GHCi and GHC. It succeeds if you replaces the infix symbol with a name.

module Main where

data A = (:<>:) { x :: Int, y :: Int } deriving (Read, Show)

t :: A
t = 1 :<>: 2

s :: String
s = show t

r :: [(A,String)]
r = reads s

main :: IO ()
main = do putStrLn s
          putStrLn (show r)
