Yes, that's most definitely a different problem.

Find out what's in line 8236 of autogen.texi. Likely problems:
- texinfo syntax error
- constructs only understood by a newer makeinfo
- bug in texinfo.tex (in that case try a slightly newer/older one)
If that doesn't help, it usually helps to ask on the help-texinfo
mailing list. In that case, provide them with the makeinfo version,
texinfo.tex version, and ideally a small example to reproduce the issue.
Oh, and when you happen to be bored, you could eliminate some of those
under/overfull boxes ...
Cheers,
Ralf
