Glenn,
Are you sure you needed this change for Makeinfo 4.x? I deliberately
made the section a @node-less @subsubheading, so that a menu won't be
needed (and also for other reasons). I just tried building the ELisp
manual with makeinfo 4.13, after removing that menu, and didn't see
any problems or error messages.

No, it was needed between d6bc55ae2d and 0a2461be9e, and
5f78e81af0 and 3134137bdd, but not after.
BTW, I wonder if keeping makeinfo-4 compatibility is worth it.
I appreciate the significant speed-up of the older version,
but it feels like compilation of doc/ not-infrequently breaks due to
changes that are acceptable to perl-based makeinfo but not to the C
version.

I don't have strong opinions about this. I myself stopped using
makeinfo 4.x routinely long ago, since the Perl version (when used
with the C parser) is "fast enough" for me. It is still about 5 times
slower than the C version, so if people who care about speed want us
to keep the compatibility, I'm willing to continue doing so as long as
it isn't a significant burden.
