What do you think about this complaint?
Should we change the behavior of texinfo.tex about this?

Thanks for your feedback on my previous comments.

On page 11 of the PDF version, in the last sentence of section 2.1, the 
reference

see Section "Input Events" in The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

is some kind of hyperlink because the mouse pointer turns into a pointing 
finger, but clicking on the link does nothing. It would be better if this were 
not a hyperlink in the PDF version. The same remark applies to other references 
to The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
