Deriving Foldable doesn't work

I was trying out the Foldable deriving in GHC HEAD (see ticket #2953 (closed)). fold gave a stack space overflow. -ddump-deriv shows that the wrong foldr is being used:

  { GHC.Base.foldr f_aat z_aav (Main.Nil) = z_aav,

This is easy to fix but isn't it strange that there's no compile error?
