I noticed something similar, though the error messages I get are quite different. I tried taking a look. There is a gfortran.log file that lists the errors. I had to type ^Z while texi2dvi was running so I could look at the /tmp/.../gfortran.texi file. All of the errors are for the @gcctabopt macro which has disappeared.
