Comment (by tdammers):

 I've narrowed it down a bit more.

 This behaves nicely:

 {{{
 module D where

 import Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP as ReadP
 import Control.Monad.State as State
 import Data.Char (ord)

 data DT = DT
     { field0 :: Int
     , field2 :: Int
     , field3 :: Int
     , field4 :: Int
     , field5 :: Int
     , field6 :: Int
     , field7 :: Int
     , field8 :: Int
     , field9 :: Int
     , field10 :: Int
     }
 getlD :: IO DT
 getlD = DT
     <$> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
     <*> (read <$> getLine)
 }}}

 But this doesn't:

 {{{
 module D where

 import Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP as ReadP
 import Control.Monad.State as State
 import Data.Char (ord)

 data DT = DT
     { field0 :: Int
     , field2 :: Int
     , field3 :: Int
     , field4 :: Int
     , field5 :: Int
     , field6 :: Int
     , field7 :: Int
     , field8 :: Int
     , field9 :: Int
     , field10 :: Int
     }
 readD :: ReadP DT
 readD = DT
     <$> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
     <*> (ord <$> ReadP.get)
 }}}
