I'd be willing to bet large amounts of money that this is due to the
macro LOOKS_LIKE_GHC_INFO() returning the wrong value.  Read the
comments in ghc/rts/Storage.h, particularly the sections on "Address
space layout macros" and "Macros for distinguishing code pointers from
data pointers".  In the latter section, unregisterised compilation on
MacOS X should be using Plan C.

(Sigbjorn - did you already solve this one?)
