That sounds more serious than a performance regression!
Or is it a bug in the benchmark?
It might very well be a bug in the benchmark. It does lots of scary pointer manipulation. I haven't had time to look into it and see if it only happens on some GHC versions (which could suggest a GHC bug) or everywhere. It doesn't seem to happen on the 32-bit machine used by the shootout server at least.
