Comment (by simonpj):

 It's fine actually.
  * GHCi maintains two sets of flags, one for the interactive REPL and one
 for loading module (see
 [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/ghci-set.html
 #ghci-interactive-options the manual 2.8.3]).
  * The interactive flags has `-XNoMonomorphismRestriction` applied
 ''after'' initialising from the .ghci file.
  * The release notes mean that only the interactive flags have
 `-XNoMonomorphismRestriction`.  The loading flages are unaffected.

 I'll clarify the documentation which isn't great I agree.

 Simon
