Its test suite puts it through the spec conformance portion of the mcpp test suite, so one can be somewhat confident that it does the fiddly things correctly. That said, I did find and fix bugs when running it over lens (a sigil-rich environment, to be sure) during testing, so there may yet be Haskell code it doesn't play well with.
