debugger gives "Can't unify" when stopped at an exception

Presumably due to exceptions now using existential types, the GHCi debugger now gives:

ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.9.20080731 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
   Can't unify

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

when it stops at an exception. See break011 and break024 for testcases.
