I have had the same experience.

Duncan, the error message I get is

Configuring bytestring-0.9...
Setup: Cabal was not bootstrapped correctly
rm -f bytestring/GNUmakefile
cp Makefile.local bytestring
if ifBuildable/ifBuildable bytestring; then \
    cd bytestring && setup/Setup makefile -f GNUmakefile; \
fi
Setup: error reading dist/setup-config; run "setup configure" command?
