    Emacs info does respect @* in general -- it is only in connection with
    note references that it may accidentally be undone.

Note references can appear anywhere.  It is just chance whether a
cross reference appears near an @*.

I have another solution to propose:

1. Change the standalone info to hide the same text as Emacs info does.

2. Change Makeinfo to recognize when filling that that text will be
   hidden.

None of this is terribly hard, and it will work totally reliably.
