It seems that texinfo-4.0 doesn't accept quotes in node names.
The bug shows up when one uses texi2dvi on a document with a
subsection in parallel with a node. (But it is the node name which
causes the error.)
Since it is common in English to express possession using quotes, I
think this is a serious limitation.
In any case, I haven't found any mention of this in the texinfo
manual.
(Or, is there something I've missed?)
