Comment (by bgamari):

 For the record, I have opened a
 [[https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/pull/132|pull request]] against
 `bytestring` implementing a more efficient codepath for building string
 literals. I have confirmed that this new codepath easily fits under the
 tick limit when compiling the above testcase.
