Please report this upstream, because:

1.) meson itself does not have -Ddocdir option (yet) and this is not yet planned
2.) the upstream itself does not retrive a version for the doc paths as per

>install_dir: join_paths(get_option('datadir'), 'doc', meson.project_name()),

It *could* be fixed, but I am not eager to patch the build system rather leaving this up to upstream developer.
