both @node and @section cause problems.
I've already solved it: patch attached.
I use this trick quite often: before writing certain ``fragile'' commands
to a file, I have to prevent their expansion.
I guess we might find more such commands in future.
might cause problem in a similar situation.
Thank you again, Pat, for finding this bug.
Have a nice day,

* texinfo.tex (\preventexpand): New macro, prevents expansion of
some macros by letting them to \relax.
(\dosetq, \onepageout): Call also \preventexpand, not only
\normalturnoffactive. Perhaps \preventexpand could become
part of \normalturnoffactive.
