Out of scope error not reported

Consider

{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
{-# OPTIONS -fdefer-type-errors #-}

f = bar @Int

where bar is not in scope. We get

T12768.hs:8:7: error:
    • Cannot apply expression of type ‘t1’
      to a visible type argument ‘Int’
    • In the expression: bar @Int

Confusingly, the "bar is not in scope`" error (the true error) has been suppressed.
