In the case you cited, it goes to the wrong position. In most cases, Eli tells me, "amazingly" it goes to the right place. If I had written the code (Brian Fox did, it's been part of standalone Info since early days), I probably would not have done this magic searching, since, as we all know by now, it is a band-aid on the real problem of subnode positioning. If Emacs Info and standalone Info differ in this regard, I think that's ok. I'm not sure if I want to remove the code from sa-Info, since it's been there so long.
