Comment (by rwbarton):

 My guess is that gloss or a C library it uses is exiting abruptly and not
 giving the GHC RTS a chance to shut down and write out the profiling
 information. For example if I build with `-debug` instead of profiling and
 run with `+RTS -Ds` the output ends with
 {{{
 ...
 7f1da4134740: freeing capability 0
 7f1da4134740: task exiting
 }}}
 whereas a Hello, World program prints
 {{{
 ...
 7f198b4fd700: freeing capability 0
 7f198dbf5740: shutting down capability 0, attempt 1598
 7f198dbf5740: task exiting
 7f198dbf5740: freeing task manager, 0 tasks still running
 7f198dbf5740: removed cap 0 from capset 0
 7f198dbf5740: removed cap 0 from capset 1
 7f198dbf5740: cap 0: shutting down
 7f198dbf5740: deleted capset 0
 7f198dbf5740: deleted capset 1
 }}}
