I've just submitted a patch on lilypond-devel which should fix that.
Until its commit and the next releases, you can browse the docs online,
or try to the download the 2.10.1 docball, which should be OK:
http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/documentation/lilypond-2.10.1-1.documentation.tar.bz2


If you want to know a bit more, this problem has been so since 2.10.2
for the sake of content negotiation, which brings 'automatic language
selection'. It's been added to allow any person reading lilypond.org to
directly get a page in the language he prefers, depending on his
browser's settings. For that purpose, .html extensions are stripped in
all links, which make the docs difficult to browse locally.
