Adam Sampson <ats-darcs at offog.org> added the comment:

Simon Marlow has just posted a patch to the unix package which fixes
this problem by providing a raw API alongside the filename-mangling one:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/16556

So it'll be possible to unbreak this with GHC 7.4.1, by making it use
System.Posix.ByteString. I don't know what makes sense in terms of
backwards compatibility, though.
