I supposed this is a texinfo (or makeinfo) bug triggered by the nested quoting in the display (in the texinfo source the above sequence of characters is enclosed in @samp{}, except for the uttermost quote signs, which are only in the Info display). In lieu of a fix for this bug I see two workarounds for the Emacs tips.texi file: (a) use the "older single-quoting convention", i.e. `lambda', which is also used in other examples in this very node; (b) use the @example environment instead of @samp, which does not add the outer quotes and displays the entire sequence in the default face (but then this example would look different from the other examples in this node that use the "older single-quoting convention", so maybe both (a) and (b), or change the quoting in the other examples). I haven't tried to check whether there are other instances of this display issue in the Emacs doc.
