OK, it could probably be added to your existing fix from August:

	    $(YODL) -I$(sdir) -w zman.yo version.yo $< | \
	      sed -e '1s/\\-/-/g' -e '/^\.'\''/d' \
	      -e 's/\(\\fB\)*'\''/\1\\\&'\''/' > $$target \

although it might be nicer if the quotes were only made literal in
examples; I wonder if we can tag them in such a way that sed or possibly
awk can recognize the hunks?

Also, version.yo is auto-generated, so that needs a change in the
Makefile:
