The output appears to be > otherwise usable (if imperfect). The file std.info-13 is broken completely and other files lack the standard header. Looks like you have translated them with the --force option that preserves erroneous makeinfo output. Since there is no evidence of a bug in Emacs, I'm closing this report as notabug. You are welcome to post source texi files if you want help in fixing makeinfo errors.
