It doesn't conflict, and things work out just fine when you install
utf8-string-0.3.6:

$ pacman -Q haskell-utf8-string
haskell-utf8-string 0.3.6-2.1

$ ghc-pkg list utf8-string
/usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d
    utf8-string-0.3.4
    utf8-string-0.3.6

And I have not run into any problems with packages that depend on
utf8-string-0.3.6 (ex. xmonad), while ghci doesn't seem to have problems
picking a specific version when you load any of the modules provided by
utf8-string (probably it loads the newest, but I have not checked).
