Did something change here since the above note in admin/release-process
was written in 2013 (commit 16bcc96df4)?
I read in (info "(texinfo) Node Line Requirements") that:
* Unfortunately, you cannot reliably use periods, commas, or colons
within a node name; these can confuse the Info reader. Also, a
node name may not start with a left parenthesis preceding a right
parenthesis, as in '(not)allowed', since this syntax is used to
specify an external manual. (Perhaps these limitations will be
removed some day.)
'makeinfo' warns about such problematic usage in node names, menu
items, and cross-references. If you don't want to see the
warnings, you can set the customization variable
'INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING' to '0' (*note Other Customization
Variables::).
(Though I can't see any warnings produced when running "make info" in a
fresh tree.)
