Changing hundreds of decade-old function names in a dozen Scheme
implementations seems an unreasonable burden merely to continue
using texinfo.
Of course Scheme should not change, that would be absurd :).
Is texinfo going to support Scheme?
It supports Scheme (and C++ and every other language that uses colons)
as well as it ever did, which is to say, colons in index entries or node
names can get misinterpreted. This is clearly a defect in Texinfo which
we wish to fix, but it is not easy to do so.
The new warning is there not for Scheme et al. manuals, but for manuals
which might have one or two index entries containing colons that could
be rewritten, for the sake of current info readers.
Meanwhile, the best approach for you is just to run makeinfo --no-warn.
Sorry.
