 * milestone:  8.4.1 => 8.2.1


Comment:

 This appears to be fixed in HEAD, but I haven't checked the 8.2 release. I
 checked both the reproduction in comment:22 and the Cabal module that
 originally triggered this. I don't know why I didn't check that before
 going digging through history. Whoops. I'll add a perf test case based on
 Edward's reproduction.
