No, I haven't heard of this before.

First of all, removing ghc should trigger a removal of *all* haskell-*
packages, including haskell-xmonad. Your wording above makes me suspect
that you are trying to mix haskell package from [haskell-core] and
[community]. Don't do that! :)

Instead of installing xmonad and xmonad-contrib (both from [community]),
install haskell-xmonad-contrib (from [haskell-core]). Please report back
if that doesn't work.
