I'm pretty sure texinfo-master-menu is not used for that, indeed.
I think "update all menus" is the more common helper command.
IIRC it also suffered from problems where it adds data to "Node"s which
should better not be added at all, so makeinfo can auto-fill it for you
(and makeinfo actually complains about what texinfo-master-menu puts
there).
Maybe the better course here is to deprecate it, seeing how noone seems
interested in fixing it (if it can be fixed).
