Comment (by Rufflewind):

 I feel that suppressing carets for CPPed files could hurt usability in the
 cases where the bug doesn't occur.

 I'd say this should be filed under:
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Proposal/NativeCpp  If that proposal
 makes progress, then we could resolve this much more easily.
