Is anyone interested in working on this bug in texinfo.el (I hope)?

I have a document which structure looks like that of the following:


[-- Attachment #2: foo.texi --]
[-- Type: application/octet-stream, Size: 211 bytes --]

\input texinfo    @c -*-texinfo-*-
@c %**start of header
@setfilename foo.info
@settitle FOO
@comment %**end of header

@node Top,  , (dir), (dir)
@top FOO

@table @asis
@sp 1
@item Hello
World
@end table

@bye

When I add section etc., I run 'C-c C-u C-a' to update all my menus,
but then the menu for the appendix is destroyed.  Try it, and you get:

Before:

  @node Appendices
  @appendix Appendices
  
  @menu
  * Glossary::                    Some of the words used in this document
  * GNU Free Documentation License::  License for copying this document
  * Colophon::                    Version of this document
  * Index::                       Indices of symbols, concepts, etc.
  @end menu


After:

  @node Appendices
+ @menu
+ @end menu
+ 
  @appendix Appendices
  
  @menu
  * Glossary::                    Some of the words used in this document
  * GNU Free Documentation License::  License for copying this document
  * Colophon::                    Version of this document
  * Index::                       Indices of symbols, concepts, etc.
  @end menu

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Another (related?) problem is that the main menu seems wrong to me:

  @menu
  * Appendices::                  
  * Glossary::                    
  * Colophon::                    
  * Index::                       
  @end menu
  
Shouldn't it mention Appendices first and alone, and then the details?
Just like ordinary chapters, i.e.

  @menu
  * Appendices::                  Glossary etc.
  
  @detailmenu
   --- The Detailed Node Listing ---
  * Glossary::                    Some of the words used in this document
  * GNU Free Documentation License::  License for copying this document
  * Colophon::                    Version of this document
  * Index::                       Indices of symbols, concepts, etc.
  @end detailmenu
  @end menu


Thanks!

    Is anyone interested in working on this bug in texinfo.el (I hope)?

I will look at it shortly, after looking at the question of 
Texinfo support for iso-cvt -- I have been very busy recently and not
had a chance to do anything. (Please, if anyone else wants the
challenge, do it!)
