I've attached the code. The code does not make direct use of
unsafePerformIO. It uses QuickCheck, but I don't think, this is a
QuickCheck bug. The used Eq-instance is the one for Float.
The Eq-instance for floats is broken wrt NaN
Prelude> (0/0 :: Float) == 0/0
False
I do not know if you create NaN in your tests, though.
C.
I've only managed to reproduce this bug on 32-bit-linux with ghc-7.4.2
when compiling with -O2.
(The code might seem a bit odd, but this is the most boiled down version
I could come up with. Even removing the "module Main where" line changes
the behaviour.)

Also, it is more likely to be a buggy instance of Eq, than a real loss

Depends what the real offending code is. For example, if it contains
unsafePerformIO then it's not a bug.

Hi!
I've discovered a strange bug that violates simple equational reasoning.
Basically, something similar to this:
let a = f x
in a == f x
evaluates to False.
I'd like to report this on ghc-trac, but I realised, that I don't know a
good name for behaviour like this. Is there one? "Broken referential
transparency", perhaps?
Thanks,
Sönke
