Thanks! I’ve rebased my other WIPs to match.

Yeah ignore that patch, it avoids the problem instead of fixing it.

I think you might be right about it being a Texinfo bug or limitation.
Org seems to correctly escape the commas in the ‘.texi’ file, e.g,
# file.org
* Heading, Test
# > file.texi
@node Heading@comma{} Test
@chapter Heading@comma{} Test
but ‘makeinfo’ is still not happy:
> makeinfo file.texi
file.texi:31: warning: @node name should not contain `,': Heading, Test
# file.info
File: test.info, Node: Heading, Test, Prev: Top, Up: Top
According to the [info file spec], nodes use commas as separators and
I guess some escaping isn’t being done:
