The problem is caused by InteractiveUI.hs. It suppresses the

just waits forever.
I think I did this so that you could run GHCi with the input piped in,
and not get any annoying prompts on the output:
$ echo main | ghci -v0 Main.hs
hello world!
Perhaps the prompt should be suppressed only when verbosity is zero
*and* the input is not a tty. What do you think?
That would be seem to keep everybody happy. I'll try to come up with
a patch later today.
Best Wishes,
