I can't see what the problem is, but it certainly looks like something 
strange is going on.  Did you find the problem?

The only thing I can think of is that you might have dangling dependencies 
between the packages in your user database and the global database.  Could 
you do 'ghc-pkg field X11 depends' and 'ghc-pkg field mtl depends'?
