Comment:

 The attached patch contains an obvious easy fix.

 Another approach would be to change `TidyPgm` to remove the breakpoints
 even if -fno-omit-interface-pragmas is on. But, I don't see clearly what
 other consequences would that have. There was obviously a path to this
 panic from GHCi, but maybe it could also be triggered by someone using the
 GHC API directly.
