Comment:

 Can you give explicit instructions to reproduce?  Hackage only has Elm
 0.3.6.2, and I don't know if you think that exposes the bug.

 I had a look at download from the github repo, but it was going to install
 two dozen packages with muttering about breaking some alread-installed
 ones, so I lost heart.

 Could you try with `-dcore-lint`.  If that fails, send the output.  If
 not, can you use `-ddump-simpl -ddump-stg` and send that?

 Simon
