It might be possible to only modify the arguments you give to F, with
the use of include:

module M = struct let f (`A x) = x end

module F(X:sig type s type t = [ `A of s] val f: t -> int end) =
  struct let f = function `A _ as a -> X.f a | `B -> 0
  end;;

module FM = F(struct include M type s = int type t = [ `A of s ])
