cabal isn't updating local doc index after local package upgrade

Haskell Platform 2012 v2.0.0, MacOS 64-bit.  (MacOS 10.8.2.)

I just used cabal to upgrade the installation of a local package I'm
writing, and I'm still seeing the old version of the documentation in
~/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html.  How can I fix this?

In more detail: this machine had greek-1.0.1 installed, but I was working
on another package that needed greek-1.1.0.  So I went into the directory
where I keep the source for the greek package, made sure it was up-to-date,
and ran

    cabal clean && cabal configure && cabal build && cabal install

as my normal user, not as root.  As far as I can tell, the rebuild was
successful; cabal's output finished with

    Installing library in
    /Users/cobbe/Library/Haskell/ghc-7.4.1/lib/greek-1.1.0/lib
    Registering greek-1.1.0...
    Updating documentation index /Users/cobbe/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html

However, when I open ~/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html in my browser, I
still see the documentation for greek-1.0.  The docs for the new version
are present, in ~/Library/Haskell/ghc-7.4.1/lib/greek-1.1.0/doc, but they
don't appear in the main index.

Am I missing a step in the process, or is this a bug in cabal?  Is there a
workaround?

I do have a couple of older versions of the greek package insatlled,

Ah!  Thanks for the pointer; I didn't know about that bug database.  I'll
watch that issue for further developments.
