'Variable not in scope" when using GHCi with `-fobject-code`

Since b98ff3cc was landed (#7253 (closed)), you don't need let to define stuff in GHCi:

$ ghci
Prelude> x = 3
Prelude> x
3

But when using -fobject-code, this results in an error:

$ ghci -fobject-code
Prelude> x = 3
Prelude> x

<interactive>:2:1: error: Variable not in scope: x

Very strange.

CC @roshats, who implemented this feature, but the bug is probably in some part of the code he didn't touch.
