Template Haskell panic with class names

File Bug.hs:
module Bug where
foo = ''Show

Compile using:
ghc -c -fth Bug.hs

Result:
ghc-6.4.1: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.4.1):
        lookupDeprec GHCziShow.Show{tc 2h}

Please report it as a compiler bug to glasgow-haskell-
bugs@haskell.org,
or http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/.

The panic does not happen if the type class or one of its method is 
actually used in the same module.
