Comment (by bgamari):

 Indeed I think this is expected. The point (as I understand it) of
 `errorWithoutStackTrace` is to avoid the (potential) runtime cost of
 `HasCallStack`. In the case of the CCS stack there is no additional cost
 to providing the stack-trace.

 We probably ought to document this, however.
