I think that bare @texnl is not allowed.  The "Invoking Macros"
section in the Texinfo manual says that you are supposed to use
@texnl{}:

        The braces are required in the invocation (but not the
        definition), even when the macro takes no arguments,
        consistent with all other Texinfo commands.
