New description:

 In the build log for HEAD today you'll see:
 {{{
 WARNING: file compiler\simplCore\SimplCore.hs, line 604
   Simplifier bailing out after 10 iterations [148, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4,
 4]
     Size = {terms: 290, types: 237, coercions: 56}
 }}}
 when compiling`Data/ByteString/Builder/Prim/Internal/Floating.hs`.

 There is a loop here: in each simplifier pass we get an eta-expansion and
 an eta reduction, which cancel each other out.  This is bad.

 Here is the offending snippet of code
 {{{
 ((bindIO @ () @ ()
     ($fStorableDouble_$cpoke
        (castPtr @ Word8 @ Double op)
        x)
     ((\ (ds :: ()) ->
         (\ (eta_B1 :: State# RealWorld) ->
            (k `cast` (NTCo:IO[0] <()>_R
                      :: IO ()
                         ~R# (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, ()
 #))))
             eta_B1)
         `cast` (Sym (NTCo:IO[0] <()>_R)
                 :: (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #))
                    ~R# IO ()))
      `cast` (<()>_R
              -> NTCo:IO[0] <()>_R ; Sym (NTCo:IO[0] <()>_R)
              :: (() -> IO ()) ~R# (() -> IO ()))))
  `cast` (NTCo:IO[0] <()>_R
          :: IO () ~R# (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #))))
 }}}
 At this point `k` is in scope with arity 1.  Actually its binding is
 {{{
 k :: IO ()
 k = bindIO @ Word64 @ () a_s2As a_s2Au
 }}}
 I'm not precisely sure why this goes wrong, but it's very clearly bogus,
 so I'm opening a ticket to keep track.
