   I cannot reproduce that.  Using fr_FR.UTF-8 I get something correct.
   I attach the result.

   Looks like something doubly encoded.

Hmm, maybe my locales are misconfigured.  Which ones do you have enabled
on your computer?  Here is what i see:

 $ sed '/^#/d' /etc/locale.gen
 fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
 it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8

I just added ‘fr_FR.UTF-8’ and it also shows "doubly encoded" output:

Description: Binary data

   > [...] env var ‘PATH’

   I don't really get that part...

I installed Texinfo 4.13.96 under "non-standard" prefix and thought that
might be part of the problem (perhaps Perl cannot find a certain module
that it expects to be in a "standard" location, and becomes confused).
Is there any way to trace the encoding steps used for the error message?

I suppose next step is to install under /usr/local and see what happens.
