It doesn't appear to be either of these. My own projects use no form of pre-processing and exhibit exactly the same problem: a parse error on first character of the line after the first Haddock comment. I don't know if the Haddock project itself (whose output I put up here) uses pre-processing, but I know for a fact my code does not.
The haddock project does. Parse error on the first line after a Haddock comment is a givaway that you have bad haddock syntax, either in the comment itself or possibly the .cabal file (you need to escape slashes in the package description - that was a big pain to figure out for me). Stefan
