Comment (by adamgundry):

 @tdammers I don't think this is as straightforward as simply switching the
 error into a warning. Have you looked at Phab:D1454 and the associated
 discussion? Indeed GHC doesn't currently produce correct Core under
 inaccessible branches, and doing so would probably require extending Core.
