The problem is not with ninja, but with docbook-xsl:

This build of LFS is the first I've used the meson-ninja tools, so I
don't know what to make of this.

Looks like the system tries to build manual pages if xsltproc is found (that
is libxslt is installed), but it needs docbook-xsl for that. So it fails if
docbook-xsl is not installed, because of the --nonet parameter (if you have an
internet connection, it can download the xsl stylesheet if --nonet is _not_
used).
Actually, docbook-xsl is a recommended dependency of libxslt, for exactly this
reason:
" Although it is not a direct dependency, many applications using libxslt will
expect docbook-xml-4.5 and docbook-xsl-1.79.2 to be present." (note on libxslt
page).
Now, if you have installed docbook-xsl, check the configuration. The
instructions with "xmlcatalog" are easy to get wrong.

After reading your comments and those of Douglas Reno, I went back and
reinstalled, or installed new, all of the 'optional' dependencies.
Problem solved!
