Uh. I'm a bit worried about that; it strongly suggests a bug in the pipeline library, and without investigation I don't know what its consequences might be. I think I'm going to reopen this until I've at least looked over the code. Note that the error might disappear depending on what man pages mandb needs to cache. You might find that /etc/cron.weekly/man-db (which builds the database from scratch) still exhibits the problem.
