Perhaps just improve the warning message to explain to the user exactly what is making GHCi unhappy and how to fix it?
Improving the current warning is certainly a good idea. For a discussion to make reading of .ghci files even stricter, see #6017. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8248#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
