This is because texinfo-mode regards almost any line that starts with a
@ as a paragraph separator, so forward-paragraph etc doesn't work
properly on those lines.
The following patch fixes the problem, but I'm not sure this is the
correct thing, but the manual says:
--
Lines that start a new paragraph and are
contained in it must match only ‘paragraph-start’, not
‘paragraph-separate’.
--
So I think it is? But this code has been basically like this for
decades... anybody got any comments about why it is like it is today?
