Comment:

 It appears that the issue here is really the poor error message. As noted
 in the User's Guide, hpc and GHCi aren't compatible (as the code generator
 is expected to produce some symbols which the interpreter does not
 produce, hence the error message here).

 I'll push a fix for the error message shortly.
