Comment (by SimonKing):

 ... and that's on purpose, according to the documentation of
 `_sage_getdoc_unformatted`:
 {{{
 If ``__init__`` has embedding information, we prefer that::

         sage: C = QQ['x', 'y'].__class__
         sage: print C.__doc__
         MPolynomialRing_libsingular(base_ring, n, names,
 order='degrevlex')
         sage: print C.__init__.__doc__
         File: sage/rings/polynomial/multi_polynomial_libsingular.pyx
 (starting at line ...)
         <BLANKLINE>
                 Construct a multivariate polynomial ring...
         sage: print _sage_getdoc_unformatted(C)
         File: sage/rings/polynomial/multi_polynomial_libsingular.pyx
 (starting at line ...)
         <BLANKLINE>
                 Construct a multivariate polynomial ring...
 }}}
 Thus, `_sage_getdoc_unformatted` is the wrong tool for our purpose, since
 we do ''not'' want to prefer the doc of `__init__`.

 Also: What happens if a class derived from `Parent` has no docstring?
