I upgraded to GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.21) of 20= 14-10-20 on builder10-9.porkrind.org and the behavior of @anchor was the same. I tested with perldoc-all.info, = with a texinfo file where I keep a bunch of notes and with the texi file th= at I found for emacs-lisp-intro. At the moment I'm stumped.
