I will ask the maintainers of that manual to clarify. I don't see how this is ambiguous: `@inforef' is used for cross references to Info files for which there are no printed manuals. > it isn't appropriate if you're producing HTML manuals. > > I produced HTML versions of both the URL and emacs-mime manuals.

Then it doesn't work according to the documentation above, and it's presumably a bug. An HTML file isn't an Info file. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure you're arguing with what rms said about how to make external links; it would be good to allow him to comment.
