Template Haskell: cannot splice sections

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

works   =       1 + 1
worksTH = $( [| 1 + 1 |] )

breaks   =       (1+) 1
breaksTH = $( [| (1+) 1 |] )

Trying to load the above gives:

arst.hs:7:14:
    A section must be enclosed in parentheses thus: (1 `GHC.Num.+`)

The line it's complaining about is breaksTH's definition.

Marking as minor because it's easy to work around by simply not using sections.
