Comment (by rwbarton):

 Is this really wrong in this case though? In a single-threaded context
 there is no observable difference between writing an `IORef` and then
 diverging, and diverging immediately; and in a multi-threaded context the
 ordering of `writeIORef` with respect to anything else is not guaranteed.
