Yep.  I can duplicate the bug with that document too.  I had been trying to create a
document without a top node but not without nodes at all, much less with chapters and
sections.  Apparently the first node becomes the top node when there isn't one otherwise.
Not sure if that's the correct behavior or not.

Anyway, I confirmed that your patch gets rid of the problem as well, so go to it.  :)

Thanks.
