Right - deprecated yum header files are no longer being made for
the FC3 repository, since repodata is sufficient for FC3 yum.

("current/" is currently a symlink to 3. FC2 still has headers/
since FC2 yum doesn't (didn't) support metadata.
Currently the only difference between "2/" and "3/" is darcs.  FC2 is also
no longer officially supported - so "2/" will not be updated for much longer.
When FC4 comes out "3/" and "4/" will differ because of gtk2.)

However maybe suddenly removing "headers/" from "3/" wasn't the friendliest way
of making this change?:)  since yum doesn't seem to handle it very gracefully...

I just saw the same problem on my workstation here.
I believe the right way to fix this on FC3 is:

# rm /var/cache/yum/haskell-stable/header.info
# yum update

Then yum should no longer complain about the missing "header.info" file.

Please try that, but if you still have problems please ask again.

Hope that helps,
Jens
