Bad interaction between Pattern Synonyms and Text

Compiling this file causes the impossible to happen. It is necessary to enable optimizations. The bug did not occur if the Text parameter was replaced with ByteString or String.

{-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-}
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
module Bug where

{-
 -  Must compile with optimizations
 -
 -  text-1.1.1.3
 -  ghc-7.8.2
 -  Both Darwin and Linux platforms
 -
 -}

import Data.Text(Text)

data T = C Text Bool

f :: a -> b
f _ = undefined
{-# NOINLINE f #-} -- important

pattern P1 a = C "sh" a -- at least two characters
pattern P2    = C "x" True -- this pattern has to come last

g :: Text -> T
g x = case x of
       "" -> f (P1 undefined) -- this has to be a pattern synonym
