I think a better fix would be to modify synthetic_term_to_doc in
browser/browse.m to look for dots in the predicate or function name and
generated the appropriate doc.  Then change the pretty printer to not
put spaces around '.' infix operators.

With your current fix, it will be harder to use the pretty printer to
output generated Mercury code where functors might contain dots.

Why are you getting these errors now?  They seem unrelated to your
changes.
