Template Haskell and boot files

Hello GHC bug fixers,

I just sent a program which ghc --make couldn't compile but
individual ghc -c commands could.

Now I have just tried to work around this, using Template Haskell
to use a "data" rather than "newtype" declaration for ghc6.2
Unfortunately the new code has the opposite problem!  It breaks
ghc -c, but ghc --make works.  This is also for both ghc6.2
and ghc6.2.20040915

with -c it doesn't work:

# ghc -c -fglasgow-exts ViewType.hs
# ghc -c -fglasgow-exts VersionGraphClient.hs

tcLookup: `VersionGraphClient.VersionGraphClient' is not in scope
In the data type declaration for `View'

with --make it does work:
# ghc --make -fglasgow-exts VersionGraphClient.hs
