Comment:

 I have at least eliminated the panic:
 {{{
 T8312.hs:6:1:
     A annotation requires GHC with interpreter support: True
     Perhaps you are using a stage-1 compiler?
     In the annotation: {-# ANN g True #-}

 }}}
 I'm not sure it's worth a test case, and I don't know how to construct a
 test that uses the stage1 compiler.
