That's probably because the A4 version got generated first and created
the index entries file as part of the process, while the Letter
version was able to reuse the file from the A4 run.

It would be neat to have some Makefile trickery to be able to detect
that the just-finished run was done without an index entries file and
and repeat the process in that case.

The index entries are only generated as a side effect of HTML builds.

[ shrug... ] The standard solution is to run the build twice, no matter
what.  You have no way to be sure the existing index file is correct
even if it's present...
