(info "(emacs) Intro")
The first paragraph looks here like this:
You are reading about GNU Emacs, the GNU incarnation of the advanced,
self-documenting, customizable, extensible editor Emacs. (The `G' in
GNU (@acronym{GNU}'s Not Unix) is not silent.)
^^^^^^^^
It seems that the "@acronym" texinfo keyword/command/whatever was not
properly processed by my texinfo (version 4.13, which comes with MSYS),
and therefore ends up in the final info file.
In GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)

Evidently, Texinfo 4.x doesn't support recursive @acronyms.

Ok, I know nothing about Texinfo.
I just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't notice it already.
I'm OK with whatever fix you deem appropriate, including no change at all.
Thanks.

Sounds like a major bug for GNU's official documentation system!

Since 5.x solved it, we don't have a case here.

Btw, using the inner @acronym is obviously wrong here, it's just a
pun. So one way of fixing this for those who still use Texinfo 4.x
for whatever reasons is to remove the inner @acronym, leaving just
"GNU" there.
The Texinfo manual has the same problem, FWIW.
