Comment (by nomeata):

 > To be clear, the error message is alarming because it refers to unboxed
 integers, but the source code does not.

 Ok, that was my guess as well, adjusting ticket title (unfortunately, I
 can’t change the ticket body to remove the distracting runtime output).

 I agree that the compiler would ideally not talk about unboxed integers if
 the code is not.
