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?
