Comment (by ezyang):
The reason for this is that the internal representation of TyCons has
changed from packagename-version to package keys, which is the garbled
output you're seeing. The GHC approved way of getting the original name is
to consult the package database. A bit unfortunately, you're not using the
GHC API, so I'm not actually sure there is a simple simple way to manage
this in your case.
