GHC HEAD regression: tyConAppArgs

The following program compiles (with -O) on GHC 7.0.4 through 8.6.3, but panics on HEAD:

{-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor #-}
module Bug where

data V2 a = V2 !a !a deriving Functor

(*^) :: (Functor f, Num a) => a -> f a -> f a
(*^) a = fmap (a*)

(*!!) :: (Functor m, Functor r, Num a) => a -> m (r a) -> m (r a)
s *!! m = fmap (s *^) m

type M22 a = V2 (V2 a)

det22 :: Num a => M22 a -> a
det22 (V2 (V2 a b) (V2 c d)) = a * d - b * c

inv22 :: Fractional a => M22 a -> M22 a
inv22 m@(V2 (V2 a b) (V2 c d)) = (1 / det) *!! V2 (V2 d (-b)) (V2 (-c) a)
  where det = det22 m

ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 8.7.20190219 for x86_64-unknown-linux):

        pprPanic, called at compiler/types/Type.hs:1183:50 in ghc:Type

Note that this panic does not occur if V2 is defined without !s.
