Comment(by Peter_Dyballa@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 raimue@…]:
 > Probably related to #777. I don't know how GNU info works, so input on
 this topic would help to find a solution.
 No, that's not likely. The errors happen earlier. The INFO files created
 with makeinfo from TEXI files are already defective.

 Once the INFO is created, it's probably installed into
 /opt/local/share/info. There a simple command, install-info <file.info>
 dir, is executed to add one or more entries and other stuff (for example a
 "paragraph" or INFO-DIR-SECTION name) into the dir file. The typical
 entries which info or GNU Emacs' info-mode display can be found between
 START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY in the INFO file.

 A possible cause could be the line

         \input texinfo

 found in the TEXI files. It should correspond to the makeinfo utility. I'd
 recommend to use makeinfo from the active TeX distribution: it's likely
 that this utility will find the proper input.
