I considered that, but I don't think it's a good idea: it's better to fix a bug (when feasible of course) than to sweep it under the rug with some hack. If the bug is fixed, it's fixed for everyone, if I make Info.vim bug- compatible I make my reader harder to maintain and that bug still persists and will eventually bite someone when they want to implement their own Info reader.
