M-x man RET 1 SPC cat RET
works for me. Admittedly, for -k you have to work a little harder, but:
M-x man RET -k C-q SPC haskell RET
works. I've just installed the patch below which makes
M-x man RET -k SPC haskell RET
work as well.

The completion code only enters into the picture if you actively
call it. Sadly, SPC is bound to a command that calls completion, so you
sometimes need C-q SPC to insert a space when you need to override the
completion code.
