Unbound kind variable can appear in RHS of associated type

Consider the following code:

{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, PolyKinds, MultiParamTypeClasses,
             FlexibleInstances, DataKinds #-}

data KProxy (a :: *) = KP

class Foo (a :: k1) (b :: k2) where
  type Bar a

instance Foo (a :: k1) (b :: k2) where
  type Bar a = (KP :: KProxy k2)

The kind variable k2 appears on the RHS of the instance for Bar but not on the left-hand side. This is disallowed for type variables, but there seems to be no check for kind variables.

I will fix in an upcoming patch.
