I wonder why that is? What changed between GHC 8.10.3 and 9.0.1? Was the 
definition of `elem` changed in `base`?
Oh, I've found this commit:

     Fix "build/elem" RULE.

     An redundant constraint prevented the rule from matching.

     Fixing this allows a call to elem on a known list to be translated
     into a series of equality checks, and eventually a simple case
     expression.
