I will try to look into the issue. I expect that nesting @multitable inside @quotation was not envisaged when the current code was written. There could be two ways to make this work: make the indentation of @multitable inside @quotation the same as that outside of @quotation, or to shorten the line inside @quotation. I'd favour whichever is the simplest and easiest to implement. Is there any sensible reason to have @multitable inside @quotation or is this the result of some automatic generation of Texinfo input?
