Comment (by nomeata):

 Doesn’t the note “Note [Inlining in CorePrep]” explain it sufficiently
 well? The runtime does not support trivial thunks (no stg_ap_0_upd_info),
 so CorePrep must not produce them. (Well, it is not a complete story yet –
 why does it segfault instead of giving a linker error; why does it only
 occur when linked against GHC.) I’ll ponder it some more.
