Comment (by mnislaih):

 I tried with boxy tyvars and that makes the trick almost.
 The problem now is in the side-effect free unification procedure living in
 types/Unify.hs (previously TcGadt.hs). It fails when asked, at some point
 later in the debugger, to unify the type of rsRandomArray with itself.

 I think I will simply switch to boxyUnify here too, and that should
 suffice to close this ticket.
