Constraints should commute over ~

Building the smallcheck package fails with this error:

Test/SmallCheck/Property.hs:187:10:
    Could not deduce (Monad n)
      arising from the superclasses of an instance declaration
    from the context: (Monad m, m ~ n)
      bound by the instance declaration
      at Test/SmallCheck/Property.hs:187:10-52
    Possible fix:
      add (Monad n) to the context of the instance declaration
    In the instance declaration for ‘Testable n (Property m)’

Wondering if this is a bug in 7.11's constraint solver or 7.10's, since 7.10 and previous GHCs accept it and 7.11 doesn't.
