In that case, I'll update my code and the wiki to use an alternative code style.

Your local Cabal version is older than the one Hackage is using and that older version lets haddock (ie ghc) do the pre-processing where as in the current version Cabal does the unlitting before running haddock. That explains the difference you observe.
Since Hackage is using an unstable development build of Cabal, I'd like to force it to use a released version to prevent such an issue from occurring again. I've added the following line to my .cabal file: cabal-version: >= 1.6 && < 1.7 However, when testing with Cabal 1.7.3 (which is the version used by Hackage), I am warned that: ------------- Warning: dbus-core.cabal: This package requires Cabal version: >=1.6 && <1.7 Distribution quality errors: This package requires Cabal version: >=1.6 && <1.7 Note: the public hackage server would reject this package. ------------- Does this mean that it's impossible to require an earlier version of Cabal in Hackage-published packages? If so, the use of a development version of Cabal in the auto-build system seems unwise.
