Comment:

 Reopening as the reporter still sees this in 8.2.1.

 > How did you launch the two processes? On a Unix like terminal emulator?
 (I've tried on MINGW64, but there it is even worse since I don't see any
 output). In my case I was using Windows Power Shell, but I get the same
 result in the old Windows Command Prompt.

 Yes, in a mingw64 msys2 environment under `bash`.

 > And regarding the tests, isn't it possible to include the example you
 posted above as an integration test for the `Control.Concurrent` library?

 We could propose that it be added to `async`, but that won't help catch if
 GHC regresses.
