GHC 7.2.1 - Template Haskell Bug

Fresh GHC 7.2.1 cannot compile

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

module Foobar where

foobar :: Int
foobar = $([|
     let
       bar :: Int
       bar = 5
     in bar
  |])

complaining that "The type signature for `bar' lacks an accompanying binding".

Neither GHC 6.xx nor GHC 7.0.x had this bug.
