Yes, that does raise flags.

The haskell here:

    installEnv <- getEnvironment >>= return . (:) ("GOBIN", gOBIN)

which I'd probably write as

    installEnv <- (("GOBIN", gOBIN) :) <$> getEnvironment

doesn't match the python here:

    GOBIN = tempfile.gettempdir()
    os.environ['GOBIN'] = GOBIN

in the sense that the case for a predefined GOBIN in the environment will
lead to different results. At least I'll be surprised if otherwise.

To Matt: have you tested your haskell version? You might want to take a
look at System.Posix.Env.putenv.
