I don't know if this is the right solution; I'm worried that it will
break other cases. The comments inside html_output_head explicitly
tell that this is done on purpose:
/* The <title> should not have markup. */
html_title = title ? text_expansion (title) : _("Untitled");
Here's the relevant ChangeLog entry:
1999-09-18 Karl Berry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* makeinfo/html.c (html_output_head): use text for <title>, not
html markup. From Francois.
Karl, do you remember what was the precise case where this change was
required?
