My bad, I forgot that some of the localized versions of the docs were 
unaffected by this issue.

For the record, there is nothing to "track down".  This issue was 
already investigated many months back, as David mentioned.  
Unfortunately, the resolution did not involve regenerating the docs 
properly, so the English version (and I believe a few other locales) are 
going to remain broken until the next build of LilyPond is released.

My contribution to this thread was simply a workaround that folks could 
use to fix the broken PDFs locally for the time-being.
