Yes, this is still not properly fixed.

Probably due to the syntax changes in GHC 7.6.1.

No idea about this one.

Looks good to me. I think the CrossPackageDocs changes are due to API changes.

I tried to fix a crash that happened with certain GHC versions. I
think the crash should be gone now, but we still don't have proper
Unicode support.
