Comment (by gsan):

 IIRC, the documentation says that the qualified names just create a link
 without doing any checks. This worked in the past but I don't know since
 when it's broken. This is from the latest documentation:

 ''
 It is also possible to refer to entities that are not in scope in the
 current module, by giving the full qualified name of the entity:
 ''

 {{{
 -- | The identifier 'M.T' is not in scope
 }}}

 ''
 If M.T is not otherwise in scope, then Haddock will simply emit a link
 pointing to the entity T exported from module M  (without checking to see
 whether either M  or M.T exist).
 ''
