Or at least I think that is where the bug is. Using the latest CLI (so some commit in the last two weeks on core), if I try to build epub for a very simple article I get the following error:
* PTX:INFO: checking all deprecated elements. * failed to load "/tmp/ptx-eaydxo2j/EPUB/xhtml/table-contents.xhtml": No such file or directory error: processing with /home/oscar/.ptx/2.45.0/core/xsl/pretext-epub.xsl has failed Cannot resolve URI /tmp/ptx-eaydxo2j/EPUB/xhtml/table-contents.xhtml
Adding even an empty #frontmatter avoids the error.

Thanks, Oscar - another oldie, I would guess. Appreciate the debugging, that
was it.
Never thought about this as we moved from converting only #book and expanded
into converting #article. Now on better footing - take it for a drive.
