Well that narrows it down quite a lot then.

It could be something local, sure. But I've done nothing to the
files, so they are on the fs `as installed'. And since its only that
one info file, it seems unlikely to be a general problem with
emacs-23.1.50.
Possibly something with the way gentoo installed cvs?
I'm going to post on emacs-dev before going the bug route... they'll
probably insist on it anyway... but I'd first like to hear if others
using latest emacs-23 have the same problem.
What, if anything, do you think it means that a newly generated set
of info files for cvs from the source texi, do not display this
problem?
Is it normal for a package of new sources to have info files generated
nearly 5 yrs ago?... I know in some pkgs the info file generation is
part of the build... but seems not to be the case with cvs as
evidenced by the fact that if I hand generate the info files from the
tarball texi file the problem goes away.
Do you think it would still be considered a bug for emacs if newly
generated info files from cvs work?
Anyway, sorry to have been a big pita for apparently no good reason.
