Comment (by simonmar):

 I'll take a closer look later, but there seem to be multiple silly things
 going on.  This:

 {{{
 [section ""data" . sat_sNJ_closure" {
      sat_sNJ_closure:
          const ()_static_info;
  }]
 }}}

 Is **an instance of the () constructor** which is crazy because there only
 needs to be one instance of `()`, we don't need to create new instances of
 it.

 It's also totally silly for `Nothing` to be in an SRT.  Even when we're
 not optimising we ought to know that nullary constructors have
 `NoCafRefs`.
