I'd say that is a bug. On clojure 1.3 "resolve" throws an error when passed a symbol naming a namespace. That is why clojure.repl/doc throws an exception already during macro invocation & the last cond within it, which checks for namespaces, never gets evaluated. So your work-around is what I'd use: or write a patch :?)
