I think the difficulty stems from the fact that you didn't show the Texinfo source of the Info output which you posted. Without that, it's hard to decide whether the problem is with Emacs, or with Texinfo's 'makeinfo', or with the original Texinfo source as authored by whoever wrote those manuals (which are not Emacs manuals). So please show the Texinfo sources of these snippets. Thanks.
