I took a look, and it looks like a syntax error in a table. A relevant 
excerpt from the log is

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \g__tbl_row_int

l.80194 \Node
             %
! You can't use `the character -' after \advance.
\int_gdecr:N #1->\tex_global:D \tex_advance:D #1-
                                                 \c_one_int
l.80194 \Node
             %

Because the actual tables are so far from regular LaTeX code (they are 
plain TeX AFAICT), I don't really know how to fix it.

There are at least four tables tables in the guide triggering it. The 
one in the installation chapter is marked with "TODO remove this 
section?", so I guess it can go. There is another one in the PAM chapter 
though, plus two in the veriexec section.

Honestly, this looks like a bug in our SGML processing macros.
