My local haddock, 0.8, parses this file fine. Is Hackage running and older version? Could it be upgraded? Or is there something else going on here?

No, it's running haddock 2.1.0, which understands all the GHC extensions, but is more picky about comments.

OK. I have been able to replicate this behavior with Haddock 2.0.0.0, which is the latest according to www.haskell.org/haddock. Where did 2.1.0 come from?

Although I can replicate the behavior, I can't explain it. My reading of the Haddock docs leads me to believe I have done the correct thing. Is this a bug in Haddock or am I missing something?

It's a bug. Comments on type synonyms were missed when Haddock support was added to the GHC parser. This might be fixed in future versions of GHC. David
