I suppose something like the attached patch should cure that.

FWIW this happens because in the
(with-current-buffer (marker-buffer Info-tag-table-marker)
form `Info-tag-table-marker' is nil and `with-current-buffer' expects
either a valid buffer or a string naming a buffer. I don't know how
Info tags are handled so I leave this to someone more knowledgeable.
