Well, I wrote "it's fixable".  That's issue 4687, with patch.  The
markup grammar special-cased "markup command chain with only markup
argument missing" and the \etc hooked into that special case.  I've
added the rest now.

As a note aside: it was a hole in one.  First attempt was accepted by
the compiler and worked.  For a mixed non-trivial Bison/Scheme
feature...
