It would seem like this is an old problem with the "resolution" "not
interested in fixing this".

See
<URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2012-05/msg00536.html>
and its reference to
<URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2011-08/msg00002.html>
where an original minimal file demonstrating the problem is given.

So it would not appear like LilyPond has the option of using an
unmodified texinfo.tex.
