Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  updated cabal-install to 0.14.0 which should fix everything, reopen if this is still a problem

I confirm this issue.
Darcs version of cabal-install has a fix for this, however I'm not sure this package is supposed to provide it, we may have to wait for a stable release.

I think the only real solution to this is to either use cabal-install from darcs or bother upstream to release an official version of cabal-install that works with ghc 7.4.1.
The situation with cabal-install upstream and ghc upstream is a real mess :(
