Ah thanks, that's it. I know about ByteString and ByteString.Lazy, but the error message confused me, since it said it was expecting Text.ProtocolBuffers.Header.ByteString of which I had never heard before.

Yes, that's quite understandable. How GHC prints types in error messages depends (in a non-obvious way, unfortunately) on the way in which they were imported. Often that's helpful (Explicitly.Imported.Module.Type vs. Some.Very.Well.Hidden.Module.Never.Heard.Of.Type), but sometimes it leads to confusing results (as here).
