internal error: throwTo: unrecognised why_blocked value (6.12.1)

Basically just a heads up that I saw ticket #2833 (closed) again:

HaskellTorrent: internal error: throwTo: unrecognised why_blocked value
         (GHC version 6.12.1 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Aborted

This is the first time it happens to me, and I make a *lot* of runs. When it happened I had lost all of the context of the running program, sadly, so I have no idea at where to dig. Is there any way I can help you with this? For my own reference, it is this commit from HaskellTorrent that produced the internal RTS error:

commit e7d2fcf771faca6bdd69112825a1281f8b993dfe

I have no reproducible test case for the bug at all either. But I am reporting the problem anyway. Output from the RTS:
