 Steps to reproduce:

 {{{#!bash
 #!/bin/bash
 # file preprocess.sh
 echo "main = putStrLn \"`date -u`\"" > "$3"
 echo "Reloaded!"
 }}}

 {{{#!hs
 -- file Main.hs
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fforce-recomp -F -pgmF preprocess.sh #-}
 }}}

 {{{
 $ chmod +x preprocess.sh
 $ PATH=.:$PATH ghci Main.hs -v0
 Reloaded!
 *Main> main
 Thu Jun 15 04:15:26 UTC 2017
 *Main> :reload
 *Main> main
 Thu Jun 15 04:15:26 UTC 2017
 *Main> :reload
 Reloaded!
 *Main> main
 Thu Jun 15 04:15:35 UTC 2017
 }}}

 As is evident from the output above, the first `:reload` got lost;
 {{{preprocessor.sh}}} is not executed at all.  The second `:reload` works
 as expected.
