bad relative urls in texinfo-4.0f

There is a regression (in my option) between texinfo-4.0d and
texinfo-4.0f, when generating html, one node per html page.

It used to be that relative links would appears like:
Up:<a rel=up href="XML-tools.html">XML tools</a>

They now appear as:
Up:<a rel=up href="XML-tools.html#XML%20tools">XML tools</a>

The extra anchor references "#XML%20tools" are redundant and ugly.
I can see that they are needed when there are multiple nodes on
a page but I see no reason for them when referring to the
main or only node on a page.

The main reason I switched from texi2html to makeinfo --html is
because the latter gives me stable and meaningful URLs.  This
buglet doesn't quite break that, but it does detract from it.

I' am not subscribed to this list, so please cc any follow-ups
to me.
