It's difficult to investigate without direct access to the system.

I could reproduce this on the OpenBSD system I am testing it with.
The Perl modules are not installed for the tp/t tests, but I could
create a test file test.texi with the following contents:
\input texinfo
@documentlanguage de
@node Top
@top
Top node
@node Cap 1
@chapter Cap 1
@macro vvv {}
(some text) aa,,
@end macro
@anchor{@vvv{}}.
@bye
I also patch texi2any to add a line:
Texinfo::Transformations::protect_first_parenthesis_in_targets($tree);
When I run
export top_srcdir=../../ top_builddir=.. TEXINFO_DEV_SOURCE=1
./texi2any -c TREE_TRANSFORMATIONS=protect_first_parenthesis test.texi
I get the same error:
texi2any: warning: unknown tree transformation protect_first_parenthesis
Abort trap (core dumped)
I'm now going to try to complile with debugging information to see
if I can get any more information out of the core dump.
