Oh dear... that's that 5% :) You just want sameMutableArray instead of 
sameMutableArray#. There will be problems with sameMVar and so on (if primitive 
uses them - I don't remember), but that's fixed in a similar way. A quick look 
at bottom of ghc-prim/GHC/PrimWrappers.hs will tell you what's going on with 
these functions. Also, from the wiki:

•Six primops are an exception to the rules above: sameMutableArray#, 
sameMutableByteArray#, sameMutableArrayArray#, sameMutVar#, sameMVar# and 
sameTVar#. Their names have remained the same as before and new wrappers 
created for them lack # at the end of their name. We made that decission 
because this naming feels more consistent and these primops are rarely used so 
we expect that they won't break a lot of existing code. 

I hope this helps.
