Wrong error message when using `..' with a record update

Using `..' inside of a record update should report that it's an error to do so, but instead reports that it's an empty update. Consider this module:

{{{ # LANGUAGE RecordWildCards #

module Test where

data Foo = Foo { x :: Int }

test :: Foo -> Foo test foo = foo { .. } }}}

When loaded, it complains about the empty record update of foo, instead of complaining about `..' being used during an update.
