OK, thanks, so it appears that you're using the new makeinfo, which is doing the right thing by its lights, namely, it's using Unicode directed curly quotes ‘like this’ and it is not using undirected ASCII quotes 'like this'.

If info+.el can't handle curly quotes, it needs to be fixed regardless of what we do for Emacs info files, as other projects are using this style already.

I understand that Drew would prefer some trivial way to do decide which style to search for, but I don't see anything obvious. One possibility would be to use curly quotes if the file contains curly quotes anywhere, but that's not trivial. I suppose Drew could file a bug report with the Texinfo folks and wait a few months, but there are lot of .info files out in the wild already, so it looks like he may have to go with something nontrivial.
