I added FORK argument not to all Info navigation functions.
Now I will add it to all of them.

Since then I improved the info.el further. I will submit the latest
version soon.

IIRC, the "controversial" feature you refer to was guessing the target
place within an Info node from the reference name. While I agree that
this is an unreliable feature, it's still better than simply placing
the point at the beginning of a big Info node. Another alternative is
to use anchors, but it places responsibility on authors of Info
manuals to define correct reference points. If using anchors is
accepted solution then at least all Emacs manuals should be revised
to find all such references that refer to big Info nodes and to make
anchors for them.
