Both 'make as-derivation' and 'guix pull' exhibit the same problem, in
case that wasn't clear.

M-x texinfo-update-all-menus is available out-of-the-box in Emacs, when
visiting a .texi file (you invoke it via Alt-x texinfo-update-all-menus
or by visiting the 'Texinfo -> Update All Menus' menu).

Attached is the patch resulting from such action, the one that when
applied breaks 'make as-derivation'.
