Presumably purecopy'd strings are acceptable as doc-strings.
I think byte-compile-defvar should be patched something like this
(line numbers may be off):

        (when (and (cddr form) (null byte-compile-current-form))
        `(push ',var current-load-list))

!       (when (and string (not (stringp string)))
!         (byte-compile-warn "third arg to `%s %s' is not a string: %s"
!                            fun var string))
        `(put ',var 'variable-documentation ,string))
        (if (cddr form)         ; `value' provided
          (let ((byte-compile-not-obsolete-vars (list var)))

Perhaps the string-or-null-p should be a stringp and ccl.el should
also be changed:

*** ccl.el      11 Nov 2009 06:18:20 -0000      1.52
--- ccl.el      13 Nov 2009 17:09:11 -0000
