Comment (by thoughtpolice):

 Simon, I've done this. Would you please review
 https://github.com/ghc/haddock/commit/c6faeae064668125721b0d5e60f067f90c538933
 - which is based on the patch you provided? It merely uses
 `discardStaticFlags` to remove the problematic flags before running GHC
 via the API.

 If it looks good, I think we can close this.
