You could use
M-x Info-bookmark

Here are two of them:
------ File: xemacs.info Node: Top Line: 0
<<Licence>>
------
------ File: xemacs.info Node: Top Line: 0
<<Key Index>>
------
Actually, the <<Licence>> part appears right at the end of the main
xemacs doc page.
xemacs.texi seems to be the only file plagued by that. The other
generated info files are OK. I checked xemacs.texi, but there doesn't
seem to be anything special about that.
Fixing the info files manually makes it work (removing the offending
space) Here is the complete list of the nodes at fault:

Although quite a lot of them have the Top node as up link, it is not
the case for all, nor do all of the Top links faulty...
