Comment (by parcs):

 After further investigation this doesn't appear to be intrinsic to
 setNumCapabilities; rather, it looks like a bug in the codegen related to
 safe foreign ccalls. Another test case:

 {{{
 #!haskell
 import GHC.Conc
 import Foreign.C

 foreign import ccall safe blah :: IO ()

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
     n <- getNumCapabilities
     case n of
         1 -> blah
         _ -> return ()
 }}}

 {{{
 #!c
 void blah () { }
 }}}
