My previous attempt to reproduce this bug used a non-alphanumeric
ASCII character. This is not currently considered to be a valid
value for rootpage, although for a "do what I mean" approach, perhaps
we should accept it and pass it through titlepage() or linkpage().
Using Chinese characters (which are considered to match [[:alnum:]]
even though the Chinese script is not, strictly speaking, an alphabet),
as in the original bug report, reproduces the bug.
