Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Here's a much more minimal example:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 module Bug where

 import GHC.StaticPtr
 import Language.Haskell.TH

 main :: IO ()
 main = putStrLn (deRefStaticPtr $(pure (StaticE (LitE (StringL "wat")))))
 }}}

 I don't know too much about the subtleties of static pointers, but perhaps
 the simplest fix would be to add an extra check to see if
 `-XStaticPointers` is enabled before using them in Template Haskell?
