Thanks. It does have a directory dist-install/ in it - but that's put there by the build system, so if I remove it, it'll just come back. And other libraries (like deepseq) has dist-install too but does not complain. So mysterious.
On the other hand git submodule update -recursive *did* fix it. Seems odd. I'm already saying "submodules" and I don' think any submodules have further submodules - or do they?

My bad, it seems like this is another issue.
I found this StackOverflow page quite helpful in explaining the hows and whys:

Hi Simon,
I usually manage to get it to disappear by using `git submodule update --recursive`.
Is it a flag you've used in your previous attempts?
Cheers,
Hécate.

No amount of git submodule update makes it go away. Any ideas?
