-ddump-splices missing parentheses in pattern

Main.hs

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

import Language.Haskell.TH
import Control.Monad

data Cons a b = Cons a b
data Nil = Nil

nestedTuple n = do
    xs <- replicateM n (newName "x")
    return $ LamE [foldr (\v prev -> ConP 'Cons [VarP v,prev]) (ConP 'Nil []) xs]
                (TupE $ map VarE xs)

Load Main into ghci:

*Main> :set -XTemplateHaskell
*Main> :set -ddump-splices
*Main> :t $(nestedTuple 3)
<interactive>:1:2:
    <interactive>:1:2-14: Splicing expression
        nestedTuple 3
      ======>
        \ Cons x[aYQ] Cons x[aYR] Cons x[aYS] Nil
            -> (x[aYQ], x[aYR], x[aYS])
    In the expression: $(nestedTuple 3)
$(nestedTuple 3) :: Cons t (Cons t1 (Cons t2 Nil)) -> (t, t1, t2)

However the inferred type and behavior of the function suggests that the Cons constructors are associated to the right.
