Sorry about the delay, didn't actually revisit the issue until today.
When you run sphinx-build (sphinx-build -b latex $SRC $DST), it generates the chapter titles like so:
\chapter{\index{Getting Started}Getting Started}
whereas they need to be:
\chapter{Getting Started}
Cleaning that up manually or running the following sed command fixes it and seems to generate a perfectly fine PDF:
sed -Ei 's/chapter\{\\index\{(.*?)\}(.*?)}/chapter{\1}/g' ${DST}/pgadmin4.tex
There may be a way to prevent sphinx-build from creating this error in the first place, but wanted to share my workaround in case someone else comes across this error. Hopefully that helps!

Might it be version specific? I'm on the latest version supported by pip, Sphinx v1.1.3.
Hmm, odd. Well if it helps any, all our CI/CD systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, Docker) all rebuild the virtual environment on every test run and build, based on just a plain old 'pip install sphinx' (as well as the other requirements in requirements.txt).
