I suspect it's a question of whitespace in that the cpp translates

-------------8<----------
 #ifdef FOO
 {-# INCLUDE "bar.h" #-}
 #endif
--------------------------

into

-------------8<----------
 
 {-# INCLUDE "bar.h" #-}

--------------------------

...which gets ignored for similar reasons as to why it got ignored when
you put comments on top.  I can't tell if (for some reason) it's
actually *supposed* to behave like that (pragmas must literally be at
the top, no whitespace!) or if it's a minor bug.

My google-skills fail me on this one.  Would you be willing to follow up
on this with the GHC folks?
