I'm not so sure about this. Why this and not requiring PartialOrd? tough choice. Probably that why I just didn't add an instance.

PartialOrd must be compatible with Lattice instance which means that both leq :: Meet a -> Meet a -> Bool and leq :: a -> a -> Bool must be give the same result. The argument for using ParitalOrd is that it is be more explicit, and putting Eq a only looks like it is requiring less: having Heyting implies that there is a partial order (the one given by Meet or Join which are the same). In a sense this is indifferent what one would use, and I'd be fine with either of the two, thinking about it now, maybe ParitalOrd would be slightly nicer.

Potential incompatibility of PartialOrd a and Heyting a is indeed a good point. I have to think this through.

The first chapter of Burris & Sankappanavar might help you. It explains that lattices can be defined either as posests with all finite suprema and infima or algebraic structures (as in here). Please excuse me if I am point something that you're well familiar with.
