class Foo (xs :: [k]) where 
    type Bar xs :: *
    
instance Foo '[] where
    type Bar '[] = Int

fails with:

I:\a.hs:7:5:
    Type indexes must match class instance head
    Found `k' but expected `k'
    In the type instance declaration for `Bar'
    In the instance declaration for `Foo '[]'

If I change the kind of xs from [k] to [*], the program is accepted.
