Is that an idea? The .texi files are compiled very early. So if they broke bootstrapping, you got the error very early. They are usually trivial to fix for somebody knowing Texinfo. Somebody not knowing Texinfo could post to emacs-pretest-bug or emacs-devel and it would usually get fixed pretty fast. Sincerely, Luc.
