Thanks all, it's effectively a problem with stabular. (TexLive 2013) For now a fix "good enough" was to change \begin{stabular} with \begin{tabular}. Since it's not critical at this point, I'll wait until the workaround Robby mentions ships into the main distrib. Cheers, -- Éric On Mar 11,

See http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/manual.html Probably, you need to change "foo.scrbl" to start `#lang scribble/manual`, but using `manual-doc-style` is also an option. When a document is rendered via the `scribblings` field in "info.rkt", `raco setup` effectively adds `manual-doc-style`
