How about:

Keep the real doc only in xfns.c, makes the others just say <skip>, or
<see:xfns.c>, and change Fsnarf_documentation to respect <skip>.

Related: I see Fsnarf_documentation already has skip_file, but it
doesn't handle lisp files. Maybe it could be taught about
preloaded-file-list, which would have avoided this particular problem.
