Comment(by heisenbug):
It turns out that simply mixing GADTs + unsafeCoerce triggers the bug.
(see freshly attached.. crash.hs) The order of the GADT constructors
(being defined) seems to matter, swapping them changes a crash to some
(apparently) undefined behaviour (neither output, nor pattern match
failure).
