For the record, even the texinfmt.el in a 20.5 GNU Emacs pretest fails with info.texi in the same manner. So currently texinfmt.el is broken for processing standard info files. Someone could take on the project of syncing the texinfo stuff from GNU Emacs 20.5 (release should be imminent) and then fixing it so that all of the info files can be formatted by it. Martin
