I am sorry for the noise. I borrowed the Texinfo from the /Emacs Lisp
Intro/ (it seemed like a safe bet), and then the output appeared
differently in Emacs and the info file reader, so I thought it might be
a bug.
I am starting to realize that borrowing examples from the /Emacs Lisp
Intro/ is not a good idea. This is the second time that has bitten me.
I will reword my Texinfo source and call it good. Thanks for looking
into this, and, once again, sorry for the noise.
