I don't believe this should happen and I do know of bugs in the RTS's time accounting at exit-time (manifesting in profiling issues, e.g. #14257) however what you describe doesn't seem to fit that description. Do you have a simple repro? Is there anything special about your program (e.g. lots of FFI calls)?
