Cabal 1.1.4 + Haddock 0.7 + GADT = Headache

[Robert Dockins]

Hello all,

I've got a problem with a package I maintain.  I have a Cabal package  
which contains one module which uses GADTs.  This module is hidden.   
Now, Haddock barfs if you try to generate Haddock docs from a module  
containing GADTs.  With Cabal 1.1.3, hidden modules (apparently...)  
are not parsed by Haddock at all, so it has no opportunity to barf on  
my GADTs, and I could get useable docs out.  However, with 1.1.4,  
Cabal now tells Haddock to parse this file, but also gives it the -- 
hide option.  Haddock subsequently refuses to generate any  
documentation.  I can remove the hidden modules from the "other  
modules" section, but then the object code doesn't end up in the  
libraries and programs won't build.  Aggh!

Is there any way to fix this problem?
