Are interface files binary-incompatible with those of previous releases?

With a Cygwin-compiled 0.6, I get an error:

  Fail: end of file
  Action: Data.Binary.getWord8

while trying to --read-interface a GHC 6.01 .haddock file (for example,
ghc/doc/html/haskell98/haskell98.haddock). OTOH,

 haddock --html --dump-interface=doc\M1.haddock M1.hs

 haddock --html --read-interface=doc\,doc\M1.haddock M2.hs

seems to work.

And BTW, why it is necessary to write --read-interface=path,full-filename,
i.e., why

  --read-interface=c:\ghc\doc\html\haskell98,c:\ghc\doc\html\haskell98.haddock

instead of

  --read-interface=c:\ghc\doc\html\haskell98,haskell98.haddock

?

Thanks,
