Re: @end titlepage permits just 1 blank

    @end titlepage only works with exactly one blank between end and titlepage
    not with <tab> nor with 2 or 3 blanks

    Is this behavior intentional?

Yes, unfortunately.  makeinfo ignores @titlepage ... @end titlepage for
Info output, and searches for exactly the string "@end titlepage".
I'll try to document this a little better.

There are other cases where multiple spaces after @end will fail, too,
when conditionals are involved.  (In either makeinfo or tex or both.)

The "short example" does have a single space between @end and titlepage,
as far as I can see. 

    Can't imagine to be the first who noticed ...

I think you may have been :).

Thanks,
karl
