Aha. From
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2000-q1/msg00904.html:
-------------------8<--------------------
The problem with @ifnottex in Texinfo 3.12 are actually a
bug/misfeature in that version: conditionals such as @ifnottex cannot
span node boundaries. Here's a ChangeLog entry from the latest
Texinfo distribution:
Sun Nov 29 17:12:35 1998 Karl Berry <address@hidden> [...]
* makeinfo/insertion.c (discard_insertions): Let any conditional
cross node boundary. (So the @top node can be wrapped
in @ifnottex, for example.)
This was done during the (long) pretest of Texinfo 4.0.
-------------------8<--------------------
Let me think about whether we can avoid using @ifnottex across these
node boundaries.
