Another idea I've considered is using point positions relative to the
beginning of the node. But to be able to fix this for Isearch in Info
we have to change semantics of Isearch variables like `isearch-other-end',
to use relative point positions. This is too much trouble too.
The only sane way I see to fix this problem is:
1. not to insert breadcrumbs to the Info buffer;
2. display breadcrumbs in the header line;
3. not to hide next/prev/up navigation links in the first line
of the node.
`Info-use-header-line' could provide an additional value `breadcrumbs'
that does this and set it by default.
If this is acceptable, I can prepare a patch.
