| ‘-- *’ is Haddock syntax for headers and because GHC doesn't expect a
| Haddock comment there, it chucks a parse error. I think just adding a
| leading space or turning it into {- -} style comment would work.

| In all honesty, GHC should just warn and treat as regular comments at
| these cases rather than failing.

I agree.  I've been bitten by this several times.  But don't you mean "Haddock should just warn..."?
