With test.texi as the following:

\input texinfo

@node Top
@top

Top node

@node Chapter One
@chapter One

aaa

@node Chapter Two
@chapter Two

bbb

@bye

running "texi2any test.texi" generates test.info as (some control
characters omitted):

This is test.info, produced by texi2any version 6.8dev+dev from
test.texi.


File: test.info,  Node: Top,  Next: Chapter One,  Up: (dir)

Top node

* Menu:

* Chapter One::
* Chapter Two::


File: test.info,  Node: Chapter One,  Next: Chapter Two,  Prev: Top,  Up: Top

aaa


File: test.info,  Node: Chapter Two,  Prev: Chapter One,  Up: Top

Here the menu is correctly generated in the top node, so I am not sure
what the problem is.  Could you send a minimal failing example?
