You mean this:

@@ -9010,6 +9010,11 @@
 @address@hidden = @other
 @address@hidden = @other
 
address@hidden Finally, make ` and ' active, so that txicodequoteundirected and
address@hidden txicodequotebacktick work right in, say, @address@hidden b c'}}: 
 if we
address@hidden don't make ` and ' active, @code will not get them as active 
chars.
address@hidden@'address@hidden @let'@rq
address@hidden@address@hidden @c ` is already defined above.
 
 @c Local variables:
 @c eval: (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)

find anything suspicious in texinfo.tex.
