This issue has been fixed in later versions of GDB with this commit:

  commit ed788fee02b844266283a5faa66ba64c5b4739ea
  Date:   Mon Jul 13 12:31:05 2020 -0700

      Fix frame-apply.html collision in GDB manual.

Maybe you could cherry-pick this into your 9.2 build.  Or just build a
more recent version of GDB?

Thanks,
Andrew
