Here I meant my whole code, not just the repro. I could have been more clear.
Nevertheless, I'm calling it through stack:

stack build --ghc-options="-fmax-pmcheck-iterations=0"

I have just ran the repro with and without
"-fmax-pmcheck-iterations=0" and got similar results to yours.

Sure thing, will do it tomorrow!
