Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Yikes. Further complicating this is that the Haddocks for `GHC.Prim`
 aren't written in a Haskell file, but rather a text file
 `compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp` that is compiled to an `.hs` file. I
 suspect that this process causes the Note (which should rightly be a
 comment not visible to Haddock readers) to be misinterpreted as a section
 description, see
 http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/38374caa9d6e1373d1b9d335d0f99f3664931fd9:/compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp#l1944
 .

 A simple workaround would be to move the Note so that it isn't immediately
 beneath a `section`, //à la// `Note [dataToTag#]` (see
 http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/38374caa9d6e1373d1b9d335d0f99f3664931fd9:/compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp#l2602).
 Chris, would you care to take this up?
