I don't know.  The CSS rule that is breaking is a hack that is sketchy
at best.  But I couldn't think of another solution.

Without the CSS, if you click on a hyperlink pointing to a *long* page
(i.e. having a vertical scrollbar), the new page will jump to the
indicated anchor, which is not at the top of the page.

The CSS rule in question *forces* the <a> element immediately
following div#main to position itself at the top of the page.

  /* FIXME: does not work in IE<=6 */
  #main > a:first-child {
    position: absolute;
    top: -10em;
  }

Looking at the HTML for every page, the upper-case node name is the
"first child", but the lower-case node name is the "second child";
that's why this rule is breaking.

But, like I said, I can't think of another workaround.

BTW, it would be nice if texi2html did not append #blah to the
hyperlinks when it's not necessary.  Do you know if this can be
controlled in the init file?

Thanks,
