That's a different issue. The running header is not correctly
initialized at the start of the document. Often, that is not visible
because the heading environment set "this page header" (or whatever the
variable is now called) and are immediately followed by some structure
(TOC or section) which sets the running header.

You can reproduce it by:

  1. help -> full manuals -> user manual
  2. document -> page -> screen layout -> page-show-hf
     (or you-know-what if the typo has been fixed)
  3. place the caret on page 2
  4. press enter
  5. the header of page 3 reads "Index", that is the bug.

But the doc page can suggest to a very knowledgeable user to work around
it by using odd-page-text and even-page-text to initialize the headers
from inside the title environment on the first page.
