They might fail to build in some cases that aren't trivial to spot (eg with some specific makeinfo version; the manuals being prebuilt in tarfiles doesn't obviate this because many distributions seem to do bootstrap builds or builds from git tags); or they might cause problems with the pdf or html version, which isn't frequently checked. And it creates work for the person making the release, who can't just release the release candidate, but has to make another one for frankly trivial reasons. In short, your interpretation of "release candidate" differs from mine.
