Comment (by simonpj):

 We know what is going on here; module A is being compiled before A.hs-
 boot, so when the latter is compiled it overwrites the in-memory record of
 the object code of A.

 Solution: add edge from A.hs-boot to A.hs.  This is a Good Thing anyway,
 because A.hs-boot should not depend on A.hs (i.e. adding the edge prevents
 another odd case).  But adding the edge also means that A.hs-boot will
 never overwrite A.hs in the HPT.


 Guaranteeing such a message is a bit more work.  See Task #914
