Comment (by basvandijk):

 Another user of aeson also [https://github.com/bos/aeson/issues/309 ran
 into this] (or something which looks like this). However, instead of a big
 sum type he has a big product type.

 The other interesting thing is that the issue only seems to appear with
 aeson-0.10.0.0.
