That looks like a bug in the vignette() function.  If you run 
help.start(), and click through to the vignette listing for your 
package, you'll see brms.pdf separately from brms_distreg.html.

Please post this as a bug report on bugs.r-project.org, and eventually 
someone will look into it.  (It might be me, but not in the next few weeks.)

If you aren't already registered to post bug reports there, let me know, 
and I'll create an account for you.  Because of spammers, we no longer 
allow automatic registrations.
