That one's harmless (for the sake of image-less info format, makeinfo
looks for ASCII art).

That one isn't.

Looks like it.  There were several recent changes in the build system,
actually even a change that was supposed to actually distribute
ly-grammar.txt.  It's conceivable that Make sees the distributed
ly-grammar.txt and does not bother regenerating it, while makeinfo
doesn't find it.  Which would mean that distributing ly-grammar.txt is
what causing the problem.  It may also be that unrelated problems are
involved.

Did you try building in-place or in a separate build directory?
