Invalid identifier generated with Template Haskell not rejected

I wrote Template Haskell code that generates this declaration:

data (:+Sym1) (a:: Nat) (b :: TyFun Nat Nat)

(:+Sym1) is not a valid identifier and this declaration fails when I simply put it in a source file and try to compile it. However I get no errors when this definition is generated from Template Haskell. Not sure if this is intended behaviour or not.
