Apologies for the vagueness, I'm traveling at the moment and didn't dig into
this enough fully.

Here's the function that raised the error:

(defun haskell-indentation-find-indentations ()
  (let ((ppss (syntax-ppss)))
    (cond
     ((nth 3 ppss)
      (haskell-indentation-first-indentation))
     ((nth 4 ppss)
      (if (save-excursion
            (and (skip-syntax-forward "-")
                 (eolp)
                 (not (> (forward-line 1) 0))
                 (not (nth 4 (syntax-ppss)))))
          (haskell-indentation-parse-to-indentations)
        (haskell-indentation-first-indentation)))
     (t
      (haskell-indentation-parse-to-indentations)))))

So it would seem that the byte-compiled file is referencing the variable. When
I re-evaluate the file this definition is contained in, the error goes away.

Unfortunate, but easily solved. And I don't believe we guarantee .elc
compatibility between major releases.
