Comment (by bgamari):

 Thanks for reducing the test! I looked briefly at the 8.0.2 core-to-core
 output and it looks like we are seeing a great deal of simplification due
 to `bytestring`'s `Builder` mechanism.

 I also tested on 8.2.1 and it seems that the compiler is again able to
 simplify this program with the default ticks limit. That being said, we
 are still seeing a lot more builder things than I would expect in such a
 simple program, so I think a bit more investigation is in order.
