Comment(by judahj):

 OK, from what you've said I suspect something with the FFI.  I've prepared
 another test script that runs through all of the FFI interactions involved
 in that line you mentioned (without any unsafePerformIO):

 http://code.haskell.org/~judah/TerminfoTest2.hs

 Please let me know the output; you can compile it with
 {{{
 ghc --make TerminfoTest2.hs -ffi -XEmptyDataDecls -XDeriveDataTypeable
 -lncurses
 }}}
