Comment (by thorkilnaur):

 Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to create this report. My suggestion
 for a solution would be for Test.!QuickCheck.Batch.run to simply repeat
 the request to threadDelay a suitable number of times with maximum value,
 then a residual value for the last (and possibly only) delay. In this way,
 Test.!QuickCheck.Batch.run never needs to report an error. I am a bit of
 an IO-idiot, so I cannot off-hand suggest actual !QuickCheck code, but
 this simple idea would seem worthwhile and easy to implement.
