Thanks for the link.  I followed through to a couple of other links that broadly 
support your position:

[1] 
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/LibraryDirectory.html

[2] 
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/Domains.html

But, on reading [1], I also see "Although an application can use this directory 
[/Library] to store internal data or temporary files, it is not intended for 
storage of the application bundle itself or for user data files. Application 
bundles belong in an appropriate /Applications directory, while user data 
belongs in the user’s home directory."

This makes me question whether /Application might be the appropriate place?

I'm pleased to see this issue is getting some serious consideration:  I haven't 
actually used Haskell for a while, and since I last did I've switched to using a 
Mac for much ogf my development, so when I return to the Haskell fold it will be 
nice to have the system play nicely with the host environment.
