I've created an MR to hopefully resolve this issue 
(https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/400). If you are 
eager to make use of this, and/or confirm that it solves the issue, you 
can e.g. cherry pick the commit:


$ git remote add DavidEichmann https://gitlab.haskell.org/DavidEichmann/ghc.git

$ git fetch DavidEichmann

$ git cherry-pick davide/TestRunnerCrash-NonGitRepo
