Comment (by Feuerbach):

 Try `regex-applicative`. E.g.: `cabal install --enable-library-coverage
 --run-tests regex-applicative`. (Assuming you have cabal-install 1.20.)
 That should build the package, run the tests, and generate the hpc report.

 Obviously I can't test these instructions because of the very bug we're
 discussing...
