This is caused by a change in the HUnit library, from
    assertFailure msg = ioError (userError (hunitPrefix ++ msg))
to
    assertFailure msg = E.throwDyn (HUnitFailure msg)

We don't really have a good answer for where non-bootlib library bugs
should go at the moment. I don't know if Dean uses the sourceforge bug
tracker or not.
