Yes it should.
Meant was leading `(' and `)' in index entries and menu subtopic
names. There were similar problems with other leading characters,
such as `;'.
I believe that the bug was a badly initialized while loop in
`Info-extract-menu-node-name'.
I would like to commit the following patch, which takes care of these
problems. Is this OK?
