Strange behavior when using stable names inside ghci?

Hi,
  The program below when loaded in ghci prints always False, and when
compiled with ghc it prints True. I'm using ghc-7.4.1 and I cannot
quite explain such behavior. Any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Facundo

{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
import System.Mem.StableName
import Unsafe.Coerce
import GHC.Conc

data D where
   D :: a -> b -> D

main = do
  putStr "type enter"
  s <- getLine
  let i = fromEnum$ head$ s++"0"
      d = D i i
  case d of
    D a b -> do
        let a' = a
        sn0 <- pseq a'$ makeStableName a'
        sn1 <- pseq b$ makeStableName b
        print (sn0==unsafeCoerce sn1)
