Finally we agree on the cause why texi2dvi does not trigger the second run.

You are right, the following:

 rm metafont-for-beginners.{aux,log,ky,cp,fn,toc,vr,pdf,dvi}; \
 etex metafont-for-beginners.texi;\
 ls -l metafont-for-beginners.*

outputs these file sizes:

metafont-for-beginners.tp
-rw-r--r-- 1 Vincent Administrateurs     0 Aug 21  2015

So, now the question is how to proceed, I have no idea which is to
blame: MikTeX out Texinfo
