Did you also remove ~/.ghc? Libraries are actually installed and registered there, not under ~/.cabal.

Reality is less simplistic than that. .ghc has library metadata. .cabal has library files. See my http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/sicp.xhtml and verify, verify, verify. Since GHC simply trusts its metadata (and not re-scan library files to re-discover libraries), metadata dominates.
