 * version:  7.10.1 => 7.8.4


Comment:

 Here is a test to reproduce the problem:
 {{{#!haskell
 module T10584 where

 data Transform = Transform
     { m00 :: !Float, m10 :: !Float, m20 :: !Float
     , m01 :: !Float, m11 :: !Float, m21 :: !Float
     , m02 :: !Float, m12 :: !Float, m22 :: !Float
     }

 abs_ (Transform a00 a01 a02 a03 a04 a05 a06 a07 a08) =
      (Transform (abs a00) (abs a01) (abs a02) (abs a03)
                 (abs a04) (abs a05) (abs a06) (abs a07) (abs a08))
 }}}

 Fails with 7.8.4 and higher, but not with 7.6.3.
