Ok, so I found that it was an instance of this: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1168 and I read through this whole thread: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2008-February/014259.html
I don't understand the state-hack optimization. It's clearly not safe and I'm not convinced that it actually is an optimization. In what circumstances does the state-hack identify a single-entry function that can't be identified as single-entry by some other (safe) method?
