On my Win7 + MSYS + MinGW + MikTex I found a texinfo 4.13 that compiled without complaints about UTF-8. I suppose the problem is faced mostly by Mac users.
Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem here, so I have no clue about the contents of the .info output...

OK - now to the next step: makeinfo 4.8 is part of Maverick (OSX) - so
it should be not only me who sees this warning? Is this warning a
problem or can it only result in UTF-8 characters not converted into
texinfo files?
