I've found it.  gtkdoc-scan.in, about line 700:

    # Take out any object structs from the list of declarations as we don't
    # want them included.
    my ($object);
    foreach $object (@objects) {
    $list =~ s/^$object\n//m;
    $list =~ s/^${object}Class\n//m;
    $list =~ s/^${object}Iface\n//m;
    $list =~ s/^${object}Interface\n//m;
    }

Funny thing it also removes the object (not just the class and
interface), but since the object is already twice in the list and the
s/// is not global, one copy of the object survives.

I will file a bug but...
