I am still unable to figure out what is causing this issue, but while experimenting, I found something interesting. Changing the request in cabal-install to POST instead of GET causes it to work perfectly (obviously, this is really ugly, and I know that), avoiding any problems.
The example get.hs file from the HTTP library works fine (even with the same file), so this is not a global problem with my network and Haskell. :-/
