I've found the problem through trial and error elimination of index
entries. The root cause is the following index entry
@opindex . @ @ @
This is apparently trying to create an index entry ". ", with trailing
spaces for some reason. This is hard to read and maintain anyway, so I
will work within Octave to come up with a better index entry.
