I reproduce. Thanks for your report.
http://intellectualcramps.wordpress.com/2010/09/04/generating-javadoc-with-maven-3-and-tycho/ This might be a useful reference (though slightly old)
Eclipse GEF use Maven/Tycho and generated source... it's a mess. http://git.eclipse.org/c/gef/org.eclipse.gef.git/tree/org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv
EMF Compare recently add javadoc generation to its tycho build. See http://git.eclipse.org/c/emfcompare/org.eclipse.emf.compare.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.compare.doc/pom.xml#n147 for how I did it.
Tricky thing, you have to depend on every bundles that you want the javadoc to be build for. I did it through the jars.extra.classpath of the build.properties file. It avoids your doc plugin to have OSGi runtime dependency on other bundles. This is only a build dependency. See http://git.eclipse.org/c/emfcompare/org.eclipse.emf.compare.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.compare.doc/build.properties#n17
The thread at https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg11132.html also contains some poitners (I have not looked at them).
