Ouch, what a waste of time on my side :-( This bugfix is not mentioned in the "notable bug fixes" here<http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/release-6-10-2.html>
Since this is such a severe bug, I would recommend listing it :) Anyway, I have a very small repro test case now. Will certainly test this with GHC 6.10.2.
