Well, actually the culprit here is neither the /bits nor the fun...
It's the $c!  For example, the following variant of your code compiles 
happily under HiPE:

   run() ->
       fun (<< X, _/bits >>) when X =:= $c -> ok end.

I'll put it on my (long) TODO list but it's unlikely that this will be 
fixed for R16B.

Merci beaucoup pour la rapport de bogue,
