GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving doesn't work with data families

Observe:

{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
module Bug9 where

class C a where
    data D a

instance C Bool where
    newtype D Bool = DInt Int deriving (Eq, Show, Num)

The deriving of Num fails, whereas the corresponding standalone newtype works fine.
