Without looking more closely, this suggests to me that you have  
mismatched or incorrectly encapsulated monads (for example, treating  
a value in the Get monad as if it were pure).  This might be related  
to the way you specify the types of the values obtained from decode.

(I haven't used Data.Binary.)
