Regression using NamedFieldPuns with qualified field names

I found a regression where code using the NamedFieldPuns extension and qualified field names doesn't compile with GHC 8 rc2, where it did with GHC 7.10.

Minimal reproduction:

module Rec where

data Rec = Rec { f :: Integer }

--------------------

{-# LANGUAGE NamedFieldPuns #-}
module Main where

import Rec (Rec (Rec))
import qualified Rec

g :: Rec -> Integer
g (Rec { Rec.f }) = f

On GHC 8 this fails with:

Main.hs:6:10: error: Qualified name in binding position: Rec.f
