[Bro-Dev] what are .rst files?

Yes.  (the command line args to toggle it are -Z and --doc-scripts)

because bro crashed at a point point during parsing, but before writing them?

The <internal error> part is a bug, it should be called just <stdin>.rst
(meaning generated documentation for scripting given to bro on standard input)
