Ok, it didn't apply to texinfo from 4.8, but:

This doesn't work at all, as the writetocentry macro is somehow
different in 4.8.

Anyway. I tested it with only the above addition of \nobreak and it
worked out well. Thanks a lot.

The \nobreak will be in the next Debian upload.

CORRIEDOO (n.)
The crucial moment of false recognition in a long passageway
encounter. Though both people are perfectly well aware that the other
is approaching, they must eventually pretend sudden recognition. They
now look up with a glassy smile, as if having spotted each other for
the first time, (and are particularly delighted to have done so)
shouting out 'Haaaaaallllloooo!' as if to say 'Good grief!! You!!
Here!! Of all people! Will I never. Coo. Stab me vitals, etc.'
