Sorry, it took me some time before I could get back to figure this out.
In the document (manuscript of a book) that I am working, ALT_TITLE now works
in most cases. However, ALT_TITLE does not work for headlines in Appendices,
which come after
\begin{appendices}
Just as a reminder (since these emails are several days old), we are trying to
enable ALT_TITLE in all headlines irrespective of whether they appear in TOC or
not.
So there is perhaps still a problem somewhere.
