With this module:

type Foo = Int

x :: Char
x = f

f :: Foo
f = 5

GHC says:

g.hs:5:5:
    Couldn't match expected type `Char' with actual type `Int'
    Expected type: Char
      Actual type: Foo
    In the expression: f
    In an equation for `x': x = f

Note that the first line talks about Int, whereas the third line talks about Foo. I'd expect both to talk about Foo.
