A warning was recently readded for that case, so in the development
version there is a warning.  With 7.0.3, to get the warning, you need to
pass
  -c CHECK_NORMAL_MENU_STRUCTURE=1

As a side note, to me it would be fine if there was no warning in the
default case as it could be on purpose that chap2 is not in the menu.

Another possibility would be to pass a tree transformation to get texi2any
to generate the missing menu entry:

./texi2any.pl -c TREE_TRANSFORMATIONS=complete_tree_nodes_menus file.texi
