emacs -Q
Eval this:
(defface foo '((t :background "gray70" :inherit region))
:group 'faces :type 'sexp)
Instead of telling you the doc string is missing, the error message says
this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Unknown keyword faces")
signal(error ("Unknown keyword faces"))
error("Unknown keyword %s" faces)
custom-handle-keyword(foo faces :type custom-face)
custom-handle-all-keywords(foo (faces :type sexp) custom-face)
custom-declare-face(foo ((t :background "gray70" :inherit region)) :group faces :type sexp)
eval-region(146 231 t #f(compiled-function (ignore) #<bytecode 0x2293dd9>)) ; Reading at buffer position 151
elisp--eval-defun()
eval-defun(nil)
funcall-interactively(eval-defun nil)
call-interactively(eval-defun nil nil)
command-execute(eval-defun)

Typo (doesn't matter for the report though).
Remove the :type 'sexp.

I can reproduce this on current master. I agree that it would be better
to say that the docstring is missing here.
