 The attached program fails to compile with the following error:

 {{{
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 8.6.3 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         mkNewTyConRhs
   MV_V [Int#, MVector s_a7WC[sk:1] a_a7WA[sk:1],
         MVector s_a7WC[sk:1] a_a7WA[sk:1]]
   Call stack:

 ghc:BuildTyCl
 }}}

 Removing either of the -funbox-strict-fields or StrictData pragma allow
 the code to compile correctly, but you do need to compile with -O to get
 the incorrect behaviour -ghci is fine loading the module.

 Although I wouldn't expect them to interact here as I don't get the same
 behaviour if I explicitly write out what would be implied by the flag and
 pragma:

 {{{
 data V a = V {-# UNPACK #-} !a {-# UNPACK #-} !a
   deriving (Show)
 }}}

 just warnings about the unused UNPACKs.
