bug#8398: 24.0.50; info-mode adding spurious "see" to @ref links

[Jason Earl]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list
and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

I have a Texinfo file that I am working on that uses constructs like:

For more information on info itself you can read
@iftex
@cite{Info: An Introduction}.
@end iftex
@ifnottex
@ref{Top, , Info, info, Info: An Introduction}.
@end ifnottex

The info file produced, and it looked fine in the info client.

   For more information on info itself you can read *note Info:
(info)Top.

However, in Emacs' info-mode it looks like this:

   For more information on info itself you can read *note Info:
(info)Top.

Essentially it replaced the *note with the word "see" which makes the
sentence read funny.

The same thing can be seen in the Emacs Lisp Intro (which is where I
borrowed the Texinfo bits from.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
