Generics compilation failure in combination with Data.Accessor deriving

When trying to compile (using my latest build: 6.11.20090722) a file with -XGenerics I get the following error:

Indeed, when I compile with -dcore-lint I get to see this:

*** Offending Program ***

.. Many, Many lines of Core output ..

Note that when I compile without -XGenerics (but with -dcore-lint) I do not get any error.

I assume it has something to do with the following two lines in my sourcecode:

$( Data.Accessor.Template.deriveAccessors ''TypeState )
$( Data.Accessor.Template.deriveAccessors ''VHDLState )

As there are no errors when I remove those two TH splices (Sadly so, I need those accessors)

The implementation of Data.Accessor.Template.deriveAccessors can be found here (it's patched to work with version 2.4 of the template-haskell library): http://github.com/christiaanb/data-accessor/blob/988137e3cb152ff0c66ec97919069d765b3669c6/template/src/Data/Accessor/Template.hs

Maybe it's related to: #2456 (closed)

For me it's not such a big problem as I will just compile that file with the NoGenerics Language pragma. But I would still like to know what might be causing this bug.
