The problem is, latex.info is dead upstream and no longer maintained. There's a similar project which provides html files, /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/english/latex2e-html/index.html, in texlive-doc-en, which does not have the bug (but also very short information about letters). I think the letter class is very US-centric in design. The only alternative I know, scrlettr.cls, might be a bit german-centric, but on the other hand it's highly configurable and might be worth a look.
