Comment (by nomeata):

 Just gave it a shot, and indeed, the generated `libraries/ghc-prim/dist-
 install/doc/html/ghc-prim/GHC-Types.html#t:Coercible` shows `data
 Coercible a b` instead of `class Coercible a b`.

 GHCi gives the correct information upon `:browse GHC.Types`.

 Interestingly, `libraries/base/dist-install/doc/html/base/Data-
 Coerce.html` is correct. Since that is the official location for
 `Coercible`, I’ll actually push the change; this way someone who knows
 haddock can have a look (the changes affects three repositories, so having
 it as a branch is somewhat overkill).
