There is a message in the logs you attached:
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in
Perl 5.32), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/^\s+@([[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]\-]*)({ <-- HERE })?\s*/ at
/usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Parser.pm line 5481.

Have you tried editing Parser.pm to escape the left brace in the regex?
