Detection of TF instance conflict depends on instance order

With 6.10 RC1, the following code compiles without complaint:

{-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts #-}
module OverlapTest where

type family A x
type instance A a = Bool
type instance A Int = Char

even though the overlapping instances "A a" and "A Int" conflict. Reordering the instances to

{-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts #-}
module OverlapTest where

type family A x
type instance A Int = Char
type instance A a = Bool

correctly doesn't compile, complaining about conflicting instances.
