Yeah, ‘doc/build.scm’ has this comment:

  ;; FIXME: This union works, except for the table of contents of non-English
  ;; manuals, which contains escape sequences like "^^ca^^fe" instead of
  ;; accented letters.
  ;;
  ;; (define texlive
  ;;   (texlive-union (list texlive-tex-texinfo
  ;;                        texlive-generic-epsf
  ;;                        texlive-fonts-ec)))

What’s interesting is that it breaks accents in the table of contents,
but not elsewhere.
