[In ghc-2.10 and ghc-3.01]
The ghc version of the ST module
ghc/lib/exts/ST.lhs
makes (ST s) a Monad but not a Functor.
In hugs 1.4 February it is both a Monad and a Functor.
I don't know where to look for a formal definition for these extension
libraries, but I think hugs is right and that the Functor instance should
be there.
