The only thing I can see in the log that isn't explicitly a warning is this:

src/Darcs/Patch/Dummy.hs:16:1:
    `DummyPatch' has no constructors (-XEmptyDataDecls permits this)
    In the data type declaration for `DummyPatch'

it seems odd as the file does have the LANGUAGE pragma for that
extension. Might be something to look at as a point of difference?

I've just tried 'cabal haddock' with darcs 2.8.4 and ghc 7.4.2 and (a)
it succeeds and (b) I don't get that particular error.

Cheers,
