Makeinfo versions < 6.7 detected mistakes in the @menu structure of TeXinfo input. Makeinfo versions ≥ 6.8 don't do this any more by default. They need an extra option, for this validation to happen. See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2023-06/msg00015.html>.
Since doc/coreutils.texi has a hand-written @menu, it should use this extra option. Here's a patch to that effect. I checked it by running touch doc/coreutils.texi; make doc/coreutils.info V=1 and make sc_makefile_at_at_check
