Yes, but the bug is not triggered when building from a kernel tree.

Sure, I have out-of-kernel drivers (which I plan to merge, but keep
out-of-tree development anyway) and have this in a makefile:
%.xml: %.tmpl
        KBUILD_SRC=$(KSRC) $(KDIR)/scripts/basic/docproc doc $^ > $@
so that I can build documentation from a .tmpl file for those drivers.
SRCTREE defaults to cwd, so it finds sources referenced from the .tmpl
file in current location. What didn't work is execution of
scripts/kernel-doc. This is now executed with KBUILD_SRC prepended,
which is what it should be.
