Thanks for looking into this. I think I'm getting confused on which
version of makeinfo and texindex.tex is getting used. (I have 3 version on
my system).
I think the issue I reported here is that I was using pdftex to create the
doc. Using makeinfo --pdf doesn't have that problem. But it complains
about something else. I want to make sure it's from the dev texinfo stuff
and not some older 6.6 (or earlier) version.
