Comment:

 I found a pre-7.4 compiler: ghc-7.4.0.20111220
 it emits:
 `internal-error: Impossible case alternative`

 The other compiler did not even typecheck the test case:
 {{{
 ghc-7.5.20120713 internal-error.lhs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( internal-error.lhs, internal-error.o
 )

 internal-error.lhs:39:23:
     Couldn't match type `BL.ByteString'
                   with
 `bytestring-0.10.0.0:Data.ByteString.Lazy.Internal.ByteString'
     Expected type: [ByteString]
                    ->
 bytestring-0.10.0.0:Data.ByteString.Lazy.Internal.ByteString
       Actual type: [ByteString] -> BL.ByteString
     In the second argument of `(.)', namely `BL.fromChunks'
     In the expression: decode . BL.fromChunks
     In an equation for `decodeAs': decodeAs = decode . BL.fromChunks

 internal-error.lhs:45:41:
     Couldn't match expected type `BL.ByteString'
                 with actual type
 `bytestring-0.10.0.0:Data.ByteString.Lazy.Internal.ByteString'
     In the first argument of `BL.toChunks', namely `lazy'
     In the second argument of `($)', namely `BL.toChunks lazy'
     In the expression: decodeAs $ BL.toChunks lazy
 }}}
