How much do you want to bet that the C version just reads a chunk of

try unsafeCoerce# for that.

Yeah, I might end up being forced to do that. [Although obviously it'll break on big-endian architectures.]

or just use hGetArray to read directly into array of type you need

hGetArray :: Handle -> IOUArray Int Word8 -> Int -> IO Int

(But yeah, I can coerce it afterwards.)
