Comment (by rwbarton):

 So, ghc 7.6 did not care if an expression given to `-e` failed to compile;
 it would exit with status code 0 or proceed to the next `-e` flag. See
 #7962.

 That could explain all the results here, except that in ghc 7.6, `-e
 "import Data.List"` actually works: try `ghc-7.6.3 -e "import Data.List"
 -e "sort [2,1]"`. This no longer works in ghc 7.8, so there is certainly
 something to fix here.
