Comment (by osa1):

 This is fixed in HEAD.

 Unboxed tuple handling in the interpreter is a bit hacky (we have special
 cases for tuples with one void value etc.), but it was recently improved
 during the implementation of unboxed sums (see new `RepType` module and
 its uses in `BytecodeGen`). That also fixed this bug.
