Hmm, interesting. Then I am truly perplexed.

I'm not sure where this would be but at this point anything is possible. What 
happens
if you try to install to do something like (in the extracted binary 
distribution),

    $ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/tmp
    $ make install            # this will fail
    $ xattr -rc .
    $ make install            # perhaps this will finish successfully?
    # tmp/bin/ghc --version   # GHC should be usable

Not to worry; it's a very reasonable question to ask given the circumstances.

Ultimately I think we may just need to bite the bullet and start
properly notarising/codesigning releases (resolving #17418). At this point we 
have
spent more time trying to avoid the notarisation requirement than
it would likely take to satisfy it. Unfortunately, this will require
that I find an Apple device somewhere which may take a few weeks.

I'm afraid I am on holiday next week but I would quite grateful if we
could arrange for a chat after I return such that we can debug this in
realtime.

Cheers,

- Ben
