The Haskell Platform installer for OSX uses GHC 7.0.4, which doesn't seem able to support the current version of git-annex.
Cabal throws a very cryptic error about not being able to use the proper base package.
I was able to install it by
1. cloning the repo
2. merging the ghc7.0 branch
3. resolving merge conflicts in git-annex.cabal
4. cabal install git-annex.cabal
(Note I also tried this with homebrew and had similar results)
