    there is consensus that this cannot be fixed by info readers, 

Well, I want to develop an alternative xref scheme that can support any
characters in node/xref names.  But even when/if we implement such a
thing, it would not help here, since I really doubt you or anyone wants
to generate Info files which can only be read by the very latest
readers.

So, as you say ... :

    makeinfo should not output it that way.

Agreed.
