Scoping error in Template Haskell antiquotations

Related to #5375 (closed), #5037 (closed). When compiling and running the following:

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

import Language.Haskell.TH

$( [d| g = 0
       h = $( return $ LamE [VarP (mkName "g")] (VarE 'g) ) |] )

main = print (h 1)

the splice should be

g' = 0
h = \g -> g'

and so the program should print 0 at runtime. Instead, it prints 1.

This is with both ghc-7.0.3 and ghc-7.3.20110803.
