"Uh oh."

Yes, the (:include:) directive was refactored a bit in this release.  
I don't think we ever intended that a missing start anchor would
be treated as the start of page text.

I'll have to think about the ramifications a bit, but I may be
able to restore that interpretation to (:include:).

FWIW, the "official" way to get top of page to an anchor is

   (:include PageNameHere##end :)
