Ah, I see.  This document uses precomposed Hebrew characters from the
Alphabetic Presentation Forms block, and we didn't include those in
the regular expressions used for finding sequences we need to compose
for display.  I've now fixed this in Git, you should be able to
rebuild after syncing with Git, and then the problem should go away.
