I can understand Debian: even if no invariant sections exist, the
license would allow anyone to do a fork with an invariant section,
thus a non-free fork.

Now, the GMP manual forbids Invariant Sections:
"with no Invariant Sections".

IMHO, the problem with the GMP manual probably is:

  with the Front-Cover Texts being "A GNU Manual", and with the
  Back-Cover Texts being "You have freedom to copy and modify
  this GNU Manual, like GNU software".

which prevents users from copying parts of the GMP manual to code
comments (which have an incompatible license), for instance.
