Template Haskell declaration quote reports error with GADT syntax

Consider the following code:

{-# LANGUAGE GADTSyntax, TemplateHaskell, KindSignatures #-}

data Foo :: * -> * where
  Foo :: Foo a

$( [d|
  data Bar :: * -> * where
    Bar :: Bar a
 |] )

The type Foo compiles just fine. The type Bar does not.
