Comment (by sjcjoosten):

 We have several work-arounds for now: using an old GHC version, turning
 off optimisations, and using other code without this behavior, so I'm fine
 right now. From your analysis, I should be able to come up with a no-
 inline pragma too. I only raised the priority to increase the visibility:
 didn't want this to go unnoticed before the next release, so thank you for
 taking a look at it!
