Oh, now I see why: because Emacs knows the doc string initially,

Yes.

Therefore, the case of an autoload mode's doc string that refers to
the not-yet-loaded keymap is legitimate, so it ought to produce
nice-looking output.

Agreed. In fact, cases like `checkdoc-minor-mode' were what prompted
me to comment in this thread.

I think a good solution would be to make \\<some-mode-map> generate
something friendly but clear, such as a note at the end rather than at
the beginning, saying that the keymap couldn't be displayed because
it isn't loaded yet.

Fine by me.
