How to fix "Bad interface file" during installation of package with stack?

I'm trying to install stylish-haskell package with

stack install stylish-haskell

but I get "Bad interface file" error.

Here's log of installation:

ptparse-applicative-0.14.3.0.log

As duplode has pointed out, this is likely a case of Stack issue #3248. A workaround is stack exec ghc-pkg unregister ansi-wl-pprint-0.6.8.2 followed by stack build, which will trigger a reinstall of the affected package.
