Comment (by alexbiehl):

 Indeed GHC seems to unnecessarily enter `MkT`s argument!

 {{{
     ...
 c1ab: // global
    R1 = P64[R1 + 7] & (-8); -- load constructor arg
                             -- and untag(!) it
    Sp = Sp + 8;
    call (I64[R1])(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; -- and enter it!
 }}}
