Were you able to check if the manual built with version 2026-10-07.17? I know you checked with the version on ftp.gnu.org but I am not sure if you checked with my attempted fix. It would be useful for us as if it builds correctly, it gives us more confidence that we should upload the latest revision to ftp.gnu.org.
