As of the patch for #9012 (closed), we create a static reference to an HPC ticks label if and only if it is in the same package, which is correct for building normally, but not for building libraries that are to be loaded piecemeal by GHCi/TH (as was the issue in #8696 (closed)).
See http://lpaste.net/113689 for an example error.
I also wonder whether the other cases of CLabel.labelDynamic that check for "same package" could result in similar issues.
