These are not typos: an xref in parens (a.k.a. pxref) is followed by a period in Info if the source Texinfo specified a second argument for that pxref. > And one of these is split over two lines, with the period following > the newline. That's because Emacs tries to remove part of the pxref when it displays it. It's a (mis)feature, not a bug. Thanks for reporting this, nonetheless.
