3 dots vanish at end of filled line

Bob sent me this bug report for the current CVS version of Emacs about
three dots disappearing in the Info display (they are present in the
actual .info file).  It doesn't happen in 21.3.

Can someone look at it, please?

Thanks,
Karl

Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Fri, 2005 Oct  7  13:53 UTC
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.103 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.6.10) 
started with

     /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q -D

and using   texinfo-4.8

The bug:  in *info* the three dots of the @dots{} comand, when the
@dots{} comand just happens to fall on a line of its own when the
previous line is filled, does not show the three dots.  


Thus, in *info*

    Here are three dots ...

    Here are three dots with the @dots{} on a filled line xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Contents of chapter 1.


but the three dots appear when the line is copied from the *info* file
...

(on a line of its own, as shown).

The DVI, as seen by xdvi, is OK. 


Here is a test file:


\input /usr/local/src/texinfo-4.8/doc/texinfo.tex  @c -*-texinfo-*-
@comment %**start of header
@setfilename foo.info
@settitle Texinfo Test
@smallbook
@comment %**end of header

@ignore

    ## ;; (kill-buffer "*info*")
    ## ;; (info "/u/texinfo/foo.info" nil)
