Compiling with -g fails -lint-core checks

Compiling the attached file produces:

$ inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 -O -dcore-lint -g -c Data.Fixed.hs
*** Core Lint errors : in result of Simplifier ***

This came up when I wanted to compile GHC HEAD with -g. There are a couple of related tickets, but some of them didn't reproduce. This is a small, self-contained example. I'm hoping that it would be possible to solve this without fully solving #14123 (closed) which seems to have bigger scope.

My HEAD is d2511e3b.
