It refers to not being able to write that format at all.  What
we know about that format is the result of reverse-engineering
a bunch of files from Street Atlas, and there is still a lot of stuff
in the .anr file that we don't understand.  The website is wrong;
It should have a 'yes' for route/read and track/read, but not for
track/write.

You might need to do it in two steps.  First, write it to some
intermediate XCSV format, then convert that to .gpl:

gpsbabel -t -i nmea -f log3.txt -o custom -F - | gpsbabel -i custom -f - -o 
gpl -F log3.gpl

(In case your email client splits that onto two lines, I'll
note that it's supposed to be one line.)
