I had a look at my gnuchess.book file and found the same errors (and some 
more). I tried to play this opening (entry #7) against gnuchess, after 
7.) Bg5-h4 gnuchess began computing it's next move and was obviously out
of his book. I tried the second variation (entry #9) and observed the same
behaviour after 6.) Qd1-h5+.
