Reproduced this.
Actually, this is caused by a bug in gcc/g++ iostream libraries, and will be fixed in the final release of QU2. Output from a program which was redirected or piped to the standard input of another program was getting quashed. This caused the documentation-generating helper "gethelp.cc" in the scripts directory in the source tree to fail. Texinfo was complaining about 'invalid doc format' - which is true - because the file it was trying to read was empty.
