Actually... I updated to 0.12 and at the same time switched from ghc 7.6.3
to 7.10.3, and found the same thing. I had to move the "args <- io getArgs"
directly into "main" before invocation of the "xmonad" function.

I haven't yet looked at the code but this seems surprising. I also suspect
it's not related to a change in xmonad, since the only core changes (and
only a core change could have any effect here) were documentation.
