It is just a consequence of using T1 encoded fonts, which aren't used
everywhere in texinfo.tex, only for special characters.  In the LaTeX
the T1 encoded fonts have to be used everywhere otherwise @DH{} and the
like don't work.  There's no easy way to use a different font for @DH{}
specially without providing our own definitions of these glyph commands.
See where \ecfont is used in texinfo.tex.

Do @DH{} and other glyph commands work?

In texinfo.tex, a different font is used for ogonek for certain letters
only - A, a, E, e.  Did you test it with one of those characters?
