Comment (by jberthold):

 @Carter: Yes, fall 2013 was when the block reason codes were extended.
 This bug is related to #9003 (modified block reason codes), the respective
 fix should have changed base back to what it was before (and adding

 I have put together a fix and a small test for this.
 Taking this as an opportunity to set up the phabricator environment, I
 will submit the fix there for HEAD. The respective fix for ghc-7.8.3 will
 be in libraries/base, a patch for base is attached (and the test case
 Haskell).
