This is a known issue, caused by using some additional features in Sphinx.
There are a number of commits on master to address the issue if you want to
cherry pick them back. I would start with commit 037648 which I think fixes
this particular problem. Looks for commits with a description of "Doc: ..." for
other fixes. I think you also need at least version 1.3 of Sphinx to
successfully build the documentation.

Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error

I tracked it down to docutils/parsers/rst/states.py [1] which changed
between 0.12 & 0.13.1
start_string_prefix is not defined anymore at Inliner init. We have to
call init_cutomizations method, but I can't figure out the setting
structure.
Cheers,
