glib-0.12.3, which includes this fix, is available on Hackage (did you
run "cabal update"?) although there is one issue I had when installing
it.  cabal-install seems to prefer re-using an existing glib-0.12.2
rather than pulling down the new glib-0.12.3, so to make it work I had
to do:

cabal install gio --constraint="glib == 0.12.3"
cabal install gtk --constraint="glib == 0.12.3"
