I am also using STUArray from some time-critical code; however, I
don't deal with ArrayException, or any exceptions for that matter.
What besides an out-of-bounds read or write might throw an
ArrayException? If it is out-of-bounds reading or writing, surely
that indicates a bug in your program that you'd rather fix than catch
the exception, no?
Also, if you're using GHC, note that the ArrayException documentation says:
"(NOTE: GHC currently does not throw ArrayExceptions)."

This isn't quite true, if I understand what you mean. The function
throw can be used from any code
(http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Exception.html).
But you must catch exceptions in the IO monad.

I think what I noted in the last paragraph solves this problem.
