I will try to look into the issue.  I expect that nesting @multitable
inside @quotation was not envisaged when the current code was written.
There could be two ways to make this work: make the indentation of
@multitable inside @quotation the same as that outside of @quotation,
or to shorten the line inside @quotation.  I'd favour whichever is
the simplest and easiest to implement.  Is there any sensible reason
to have @multitable inside @quotation or is this the result of some
automatic generation of Texinfo input?
