Coverage-evaluation benchmarks quantify whether retrieved evidence covers the different pieces of information needed to satisfy an information need. Existing benchmarks mostly consider factual claims that may already be known to pretrained retrieval components, leaving open whether retrievers find corpus evidence when it contradicts those priors. We study how retrievers behave when their parametric knowledge and the information in a corpus disagree. To do so, we develop a process to augment a nugget-based coverage benchmark with controlled contradictions. For each nugget, we create a negated counterpart and edit its supporting documents to support that negation while preserving the context. Applying this process to CoverageBench, a benchmark measuring information coverage, we create CoverageBench-Negate, spanning six datasets and roughly 63,000 original-edited evidence pairs (one per nugget-document link). We attach rich construction metadata to every pair and additionally provide out-of-family LLM judgments over all pairs and a human audit of a sample. In baseline experiments, BM25 separates original from edited near-twin evidence substantially better than dense retrievers (Qwen3 and Jina), which stay near chance. We release the benchmark on Hugging Face Datasets (nuggets, documents, pairs) together with the construction materials, including the prompts used to create it.
