I get an error message mentioning code that I did not write but results from desugaring when compiling the following program:

{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, FlexibleInstances, OverlappingInstances #-}

class Stupid a where
  type F a

instance Stupid a where
  type F a = a

instance Stupid Int where
  type F Int = Bool

The error I get is:

families.hs:7:7:
    Conflicting family instance declarations:
      type instance F a -- Defined at families.hs:7:7
      type instance F Int -- Defined at families.hs:10:7

The error mentions "type instance F a", but it should say "type F a", because that is what I wrote in the source file. Or maybe "type F a in instance Stupid a" to make it clear that it's an instance declaration.
