Comment(by idoadam@…):

 > OK, this means that this is a problem related to menus in general, not a
 problem related to the dir files. If you see all the nodes, this could
 mean that menus are not recognized in the info file.

 I would like to stress that the menus are recognized: I can access the
 list of menu items by pressing m and Tab and access the nodes they lead to
 by typing the menu items' names. The problem appears related to displaying
 them.

 > What does "info -o out.txt latex" give you?

 This is even stranger: running 'info -o out.txt latex' and then 'cat
 out.txt' displays the entire latex top node with the menu items included.
 This is identical to what I get in emacs. Nothing is missing. The same
 applies to 'info -o out.txt'.

 > Do you know any other users who have the same problem? (If there are
 none, this could be a problem local to your machine.)

 I cannot rule out your suggestion that this problem is local to my machine
 and I know no other users of MacPorts. However, the only software
 intstalled with an installer on my system is Xcode, iLife and MacPorts.
 All teh rest was simply installed by dragging application bundles to the
 /Applications folder. Hence the system should be close to a pristine
 state. The lack of other users noting this might be related to the
 probable scarcity of people using info from the command line rather than
 from emacs.

 > You can try to rebuild texinfo, in case something got wrong. You can
 also try "LC_ALL=C info" in case this is a problem related to the locales.

 Changing the locale to C has no effect. I have also tried terminal with
 different color settings in case those are to blame (I usually use the
 default black on white). I do not have time to rebuild texinfo now.

 Since you cannot reproduce the problem and have better things to do with
 your time, I suggest that we leave this ticket open for now. I will simply
 use emacs. Hopefully, this will be fixed by a future version upstream. I
 will add a comment if I discover anything new.

 I once again thank you for trying to take care of the issue.
