So I don't know where in the Ubuntu build process this is
all happening. Is this building from bzr or a released
package?

The top srcdir should contain a file gnome-doc-utils.make
Line 364 should look like this:

_DOC_POT = $(if $(DOC_MODULE),$(DOC_MODULE).pot)

Try changing that to this:

_DOC_POT = $(if $(DOC_MODULE),$(DOC_MODULE).pot,\
$(if $(DOC_ID),$(DOC_ID).pot))

That should make 'make pot' work, which is what happened
for DocBook documents. Can somebody check to see if that's
all that's needed?
