 May be related to #4987, but this time I have a reproducible case.

 So far I found out that the `%INFO_TYPE(%STD_INFO(info))`
 in `stg_ap_v` is 4 (==`CONSTR_2_0`) just before barfing.

 The unsafe cast is just to generalize to the return type,
 but seem to be crucial. When I make `TypedPair` unparametrized
 or remove the TPInt constructor (but remaining a GADT), the crash goes
 away.

 The problem does not happen with GHCi (with this testcase), but I have
 seen the same crash in GHCi too with a more involved code example.

 I compiled vanilla: `ghc internal-error.lhs; ./internal-error`

 I did not test with older compilers.
