The manual says there is supposed to be a customization variable SHORT_REF for this, but I could find no trace of it anywhere in the source code. It was formerly listed in @obsolete_variables in tp/Texinfo/Common.pm, but not used for anything that I could see. I don't understand what this option was supposed to have done; I checked the HTML output from texi2any and the word "section" didn't appear in the output for any cross-references. I tried with both '@xrefautomaticsectiontitle on' and '@xrefautomaticsectiontitle off' in the document. So I don't understand what your problem is.
