Here's attached an almost minimal example showing the problem.  If you
replace the umlaut-U with U, texi2pdf successfully compiles it.

In German lilypond.texi, I solved the problem by converting all UTF-8
accents to @- Texinfo accents.

Here's the log I get on my system:

This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
 file:line:error style messages enabled.
