It's done for the tables of different note names in various languages:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Note-names-in-other-languages#Note-names-in-other-languages
Since the note names are actually lilypond code, the whole table was wrapped
in a @smallexample. Of course, feel free to suggest something better...

Yes, makeinfo --html preserves the spaces and linebreaks, but since they are
directly inside a <table>, browsers seem to simply ignore them (even though
the table is inside a <pre>, which is not valid html, but oh well...)
texi2html on the other hand tries to produce correct html and so wraps the
<pre> inside every table cell, thus making the spaces and more importantly
the line breaks appear verbatim:
