The problem here is with your usage of Texinfo: node names cannot
contain periods. The Texinfo manual says:
* Unfortunately, you cannot use periods, commas, colons or
parentheses within a node name; these confuse the Texinfo
processors. Perhaps this limitation will be removed some day, too.
So there you are: don't do that ;-)
