The problem is that La@TeX{} has a half-graphical Logo when
typesetting with TeX.  One should either use the complete logo, or
none.  The problem can be solved by placing the following into a macro
file or the document:

@ifnottex
@macro LaTeX {}
La@TeX{}
@end macro
@end ifnottex
@tex
\gdef\LaTeX{L\kern-.36em\raise.3ex\hbox{\sc{a}}\kern-.15em\TeX}
@end tex

This will define the macro @LaTeX{} in case it is not available
already.  It may be that using it in section headers and indexes is
not without problems, in particular when generating PDF documentation.
But just the same is the case for @TeX{}, and AUCTeX has some special
workaround stuff in its Texinfo macros, should this turn out to make
problems.
