You seem to have a different version of makeinfo... Using 4.1a, this
code snippet as file `zzz'

  \input texinfo
  @setfilename macbrace.info

  @deffn Escape @address@hidden
  @deffn Escape @address@hidden
  Using @address@hidden and @address@hidden with @@deffn.
  @end deffn

  @bye

produces the following warnings with `texi2dvi -e zzz':

  stdin:4: Missing `}' in @def arg.
  stdin:6: @t missing close brace.

While the DVI output looks OK, `makeinfo zzz' fails with

  zzz:4: Missing `}' in @def arg.
  zzz:6: @t missing close brace.
  makeinfo: Removing output file `macbrace.info' due to errors;
            use --force to preserve.

So this is more than a macro expansion bug; the problem is apparently
specific to the handling of @deffn in makeinfo (since @code can digest
address@hidden' without problems).
