[Agda] Weird constraint on type of a record field

Hi,
I'm getting a really weird typing error that I believe may point to a bug.
I've removed all the unnecessary code and uploaded what remains here:
http://hpaste.org/68497
The problem comes from line 27. The error message is:
IsRing.*-isMonoid /= IsRing.+-isAbelianGroup
which is true, but I don't see why it should matter... if I replace the
reference to *-monoid to a hole and look at all its constraints, I see
that it explicitly mentions +-isAbelianGroup in the isEquivalence witness
field. Where does this constraint come from?
Interestingly, if instead of the reference to *-monoid, I create a new
IsMonoid record, and fill in all the leaves with the appropriate leaves of
*-monoid, it passes the typechecker.
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks,
Gergo
