Fortunately I found the problem without having to understand what the 
Tramp manual is doing with macros.  It is the change to pass on -D to 
TeX that caused the problem, but not the "-D noinstallchapter" in 
particular.  texi2any would parse the whole input and pass on the values 
of flags at the end of reading the file, which is clearly incorrect.  
Fixed in revision ada5d55.
