     I admit that I don't really understand what's going on here. What is the
     difference between this new file 'build-aux/texinfo.tex,ref' and the
     'build-aux/texinfo.tex'? Do we need both?

No.  We don't need both.

But we do need a version later than that which automake-1.15 provides.

This patch provides a version which (as of time of writing) works for our 
current
git HEAD.  However, if a future automake provides a newer one than that which
I've provided, then the newer one will take precedence.
