Yes.  The problem seems to be here in style.css:

/* For navigation links */
.node a, .header a {display: inline-block;line-height: 2em;}

Having the <a> in the header be inline-block apparently makes
Chrome-based mobile browsers display the links very weirdly.

To test on a Chromium browser, go to this page:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Basic-Minibuffer.html

And then use Developer Tools to switch to mobile view, and you should
see the problems:

Could someone who controls the style.css file fix this,
webmasters <at> gnu.org?

If not, we can override this in the Emacs style sheets, but it seems
like it's a style.css problem.  (On the other hand, perhaps not -- CSS
problems aren't always trivial to debug.)
