However, searching suggests this error is to be expected if you have a dynamically-built system, and suggested adding "-dynamic". As far as I can see, that's a matter of the GHC installation, not of the program being compiled, since I was working in this instance with a single .lhs source file. There might be differences in Ubuntu's toolchain. Not according to the changelog, but of course it could be something unknown!
