Fixed in Guile commit ff14b77ff527f297438b83614db0c1d56322ec42 (on
‘master’, which corresponds to 3.0.x, but we could backport to
‘stable-2.2’).

Thanks,
Ludo’.

When rendering synopsis or descriptions as plain text, acronyms are not
handled correctly, they're just omitted entirely.

  Flexible objects for representing @acronym{UFO, unified font object}
  data

  ->

  Flexible objects for representing data


  @acronym{FIFE, Flexible Isometric Free Engine} is a
  multi-platform\nisometric game engine.  Python bindings are included
  allowing users to create\ngames using Python as well as C++.

  ->

  is a multi-platform isometric game engine.  Python bindings are
  included allowing users to create games using Python as well as C++.


I believe this is a bug in Guile, but it could also be a problem with
the texinfo markup.
