Details:

I attached some exemple temp.texi, and the corresponding output temp.info.

The problem in temp.texi is at line 58:


* À propos de ce document:About this document. reporter les bogues, etc.


There is a missing space between `:' and `About' which is not conformant to
texinfo manual.

However texi2any does not bark at it, and make some info output that the emacs
viewer does not handle correctly. Here is what I see with the viewer:


File: temp.info,  Node: Top,  Next: About this document,  Up: (dir)

TITLE
*****

This manual is for PROGRAM, version VERSION.

QDLB
     Que De La Balle
BCBG
     Beau Cul, Belle Gueule

* Menu:

* À propos de ce document:About this document. reporter les bogues, etc.
* Mon entrée:Mon noeud. Tra lala


If I type `1', I will go to node `Mon noeud', so node `About this document' is
ignored. With a space between `:' and `About', here is what I would see:


File: temp.info,  Node: Top,  Next: About this document,  Up: (dir)

TITLE
*****

This manual is for PROGRAM, version VERSION.

QDLB
     Que De La Balle
BCBG
     Beau Cul, Belle Gueule

* Menu:

* À propos de ce document: About this document. reporter les bogues, etc.
* Mon entrée:Mon noeud. Tra lala


and the EMACS viewer allows to go to both nodes.
Here is my EMACS version --- in case the viewer is to blame:


[minibuffer] M-x version
[*Message*]GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2014-07-20 on CHOUNEK
