Thank you!  I am utterly buried just now (POPL) but will get to this.

I can probably cook up a smaller repro than Dan, since I depend on neither package for a standalone test case. Let me get cracking on it promptly, and I'll file a ticket later.

I filed http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4184 just now, which includes two workarounds that I found for my particular version of the problem, the second of which I stumbled upon quite by accident while creating the standalone repro.
