Comment:

 Thanks for recording this.  You are right that full laziness can introduce
 space leaks.  GHC provides no way to selectively disable it, but you can
 use -fno-full-laziness.

 It's a good research topic.  It'd be great if someone could find a way to
 solve it... but I doubt we'll do anything to GHC in the short term.
