Comment:

 The bug is fixed in HEAD, unfortunately, I cannot provide a simple test
 case.

 I reduced the code preserving panic and managed to remove dependency on
 vectors. The bug is tied to IORefs which come from InputT in haskeline
 used in Machine.hs. I installed haskeline with HEAD (you can do this by
 increasing version numbers in its cabal file) and then the reduced version
 compiles. I cannot tell for sure whether your entire code compiles - I
 couldn't get vector-bytestring to work due to boolean primop changes, but
 at least this particular bug is definitely fixed.
