Thanks.  For reference, this is what you have said on the github bug:

Seems a bug of
GNU Emacs 26.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5) of 2016-11-15
Does not exist at
GNU Emacs 25.1.90.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5) of 2016-11-29

Note that haskell-mode is not part of Emacs.  Ideally, your steps to
reproduce that begin with running "emacs -Q".  Emacs maintainers that
might not also be Haskell hackers will appreciate it.  :)

Also, can you describe the visible symptom that caused you to begin
looking at syntax-ppss and parse-partial-sexp?  That description may
help me or others spot similarities with other reported bugs.

(I must say that I am not an Emacs expert, and I do not usually reply to
Emacs bugs.  I looked at a few bugs last night as a way to help
maintainers triage the "easy" bugs.  It does not look like this bug is
easy!)
