No, because it's not a bug in ghc, but probably in the Visual C++ compiler.

I think that you should let the ghc author decide whether he wants to implement this bugfix or workaround.

I don't want to take up their time with Windows XP support, which they must have dropped years ago, just for a few users here who insist on XP support.

So leave current TC as legacy version for 32-bit systems and move to developing only 64-bit TC. You can use a year for new versions numbering - TC24 in 2024, TC25 in 2025 etc.- like other developers do.

32-bit vs 64-bit is not the problem here. It was actually much easier to get the 32-bit version to work on XP than the 64-bit version.

Bad suggestion.
