ghc: panic installing darcs-beta

I've just tried to install darcs using cabal install darcs-beta, and somewhere in the middle I've got

[ 57 of 136] Compiling Darcs.Repository.Prefs ( src/Darcs/Repository/Prefs.lhs, dist/build/Darcs/Repository/Prefs.o )
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.10.3 for i386-apple-darwin):

    [ww{v a305N} [lid], ww1{v a305O} [lid], ww2{v a305P} [lid]]
    [!, !, _, _]

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