Can we please find a solution for this, and > if not, revert it? A solution for what? The latest versions of both Debian stable and RHEL, which tend to be the GNU/Linux distributions with the oldest infrastructure, both have texinfo 4.13. http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/texinfo/texinfo/NEWS tells me this supports UTF-8 in info. Older versions of makeinfo will still work, just with a few odd characters. I've shown there is no apparent problem with making pdfs (even with older versions of makeinfo). So I guess the problem is the apparent lack of a readily available working pre-built binary of a recent version of texinfo on MS Windows. I can't help you find a solution for that. I don't mind reverting this because of that.
