'impossible' happened when deriving Functor on a type with a type family application

The following should fail with an appropriate error message.

I discovered this by accident when I changed the definition of type 'U' and forgot to remove 'deriving Functor'.

> {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, DeriveFunctor #-}

> data U a = U (G a) deriving Functor
>
> class A a where
>   type G a
