Comment (by bgamari):

 Thanks, a testcase would be great!

 Indeed I didn't notice `Note [inline sccs]`. It's surprising that this bug
 wasn't spotted earlier given that this could happen for any binding, not
 just those marked as INLINE (since GHC may decide on its own to expose an
 unfolding). I guess `-fno-prof-count-entries` doesn't see much use.
