Type error says that tuple components have kind (* -> *)

Prelude Data.Map> :kind (,)
(,) :: * -> * -> *

The following type error says that the second argument to (,) should have kind * -> *, which isn't true.

Prelude> :m +Data.Map
Prelude Data.Map> :kind (Map Int, Int)
<interactive>:1:11:
    The second argument of a tuple should have kind `* -> *',
      but `Int' has kind `*'
    In a type in a GHCi command: (Map Int, Int)

Now it can't make up its mind:

Prelude Data.Map> :kind (Int, Map Int)
<interactive>:1:7:
    Expecting one more argument to `Map Int'
    The second argument of a tuple should have kind `*',
      but `Map Int' has kind `* -> *'
    In a type in a GHCi command: (Int, Map Int)
