Internal error when compiling TH code with profiling on Windows

When using the GHC API with this minimal example, compiled with profiling enabled:

module Main where

import GHC
import GHC.Paths ( libdir )

main = runGhc (Just libdir) $ do
        env <- getSession
        dflags <- getSessionDynFlags
        setSessionDynFlags dflags
        target <- guessTarget "A.hs" Nothing
        setTargets [target]
        load LoadAllTargets

Invoking the main executable:

testprof

While A.hs contains a TH splice:

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module A where

$(return [])

The compiler crashes:

testprof.exe: internal error: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32[NB]: High bits are set in 10e6109d0 for .text
    (GHC version 8.2.1 for x86_64_unknown_mingw32)
    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

The walkaround is to use -fexternal-interpreter, in that case, the crash does not happen.
