Haddin, 78 not out overnight, attempted a risky second run on 94 but was beaten home by Michael Carberry's throw to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
Haddin faced 153 balls and hit eight fours and a six in his spirited knock which helped restore the Australian innings after it was teetering at 132 for six.
Stuart Broad, England's hero of the first day, walked off the Gabba holding the match ball aloft in tribute to his six for 81 off 24 overs.
Broad captured the other Australian wicket to fall in the morning, having Ryan Harris caught behind.
Harris failed to get his bat away from a Broad lifter and edged to Prior for nine in the day's third over, giving the pacer his sixth wicket of the innings.
Broad shattered the Australia top order on the opening day, snaring the wickets of Chris Rogers, Shane Watson, Michael Clarke, David Warner and Mitchell Johnson.
Haddin was on 82 when last man Nathan Lyon came into bat with England captain Alastair Cook setting the field to encourage the wicketkeeper to get off strike and concentrate on taking Lyon's wicket.
But it was Haddin's anxiety to complete his fourth Test century that cost him in the end and he continued his sprint off the ground straight into the dressing room rather than accept the home crowd's applause.
