I found this discussion: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2010-06/msg00003.html and this ChangeLog entry: 2010-06-17 Karl Berry <[email protected]> * doc/texinfo.tex (\macroargctxt): set \catcode`\\=0, as a try at supporting \\ \{ \} (but not \,) in macro args. Report from Ralf W, Eric B, Patrice D, 14 Jun 2010 23:48:39. I haven't read through the discussion yet but I expect I'll have problems trying to guess what all the "address@hidden" mean!
