It isn't a problem for the Yocto Project documentation PDF. You can have a =
look
at the current PDF for it (with the ":caption:" properties):
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/_static/theyoctoproject.pdf

And here would be the equivalent PDF with the ":caption:" properties _remov=

I can't spot any differences.

I'm struggling to get things right to build the PDF for the kernel docs, so=
 I
wasn't able to test it :-/ If you have some container image that I could us=
e, it
might help as it seems to be related to my host packages versions.

For ePUBs, as Randy mentioned, TOC is handled differently and the captions =
are
not seen in odd places.
