See, I did that: escape the comma.

No, it doesn't, and that's what the bug report was for. It works for
makeinfo, but not (or only half-way) for TeX. The escaping of the
comma works fine (ie: escaped comma \, is not mistaken for argument
separator), but, like it said in my bug report, the escaped commma
produces an a double-open quote mark.
As I said before, the output looks like
0.1 FOO
a``,b
instead of the second line being merely a,b
I tried quite a few things, but couldn't fix it, that's why I posted
the bug report.
