Comment (by monoidal):

 As far as I can tell, the origin of the STG Lint error is Data.Text.Array
 in the text package.

 Here's the crucial part of that module. To reproduce, save this code as
 Array.hs and compile with `ghc -dstg-lint Array`. This gives a Lint error
 in 7.6.3 and HEAD.

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE MagicHash, RecordWildCards, UnboxedTuples #-}
 module Array where

 import GHC.Base (ByteArray#, MutableByteArray#, unsafeCoerce#)
 import GHC.ST (ST(..), runST)

 data Array = Array {
       aBA :: ByteArray#
     }

 data MArray s = MArray {
       maBA :: MutableByteArray# s
     }

 unsafeFreeze :: MArray s -> ST s Array
 unsafeFreeze MArray{..} = ST $ \s# ->
                           (# s#, Array (unsafeCoerce# maBA) #)
 }}}
