GHC API load panic

The attached program APILoad.hs, which works with ghc-6.6, panics on the HEAD when trying to load a module using the GHC API. Adding a call to parseStaticFlags prevents the panic, but it doesn't seem like that should be necessary when using the API.

~: ghc-6.7.20070215 --make APILoad.hs -package ghc
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( APILoad.hs, APILoad.o )
Linking APILoad ...
~/tmp/unsplice: ./APILoad Foo.hs 
Loading...
APILoad: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.7.20070215 for powerpc-apple-darwin):
        a static opt was looked at too early!

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

Foo.hs:

module Foo where

foo = 4
