Yup, there's clearly a bug here (or at least misfeature).
But at least

 doSomeStuff a b c = do
   somefunc a
            anotherfunc b
            onemorefunc c

would make sense as well, if somefunc can take 5 arguments (and
haskell-mode doesn't do any kind of type-inference, so it should
conservatively allow this indentation as well).
