I guess thatʼs:

commit c5800ca1a7
Author:     Patrice Dumas <pertusus@free.fr>
AuthorDate: Sun Oct 2 17:24:54 2022 +0200

    * NEWS, tp/Texinfo/ParserNonXS.pm,
    tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/command_data.txt,
    tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/commands.h, tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/parser.c
    (check_valid_nesting): add contain_simple_text flag.  Set @w to be
    contain_simple_text, plain text is too restrictive, there are many
    uses of indicatric commands in @w in the Texinfo manual.

and

    Warn if @-commands other than accent, glyphs and symbols appear in @w
    
    * tp/Texinfo/Common.pm (%contain_plain_text_commands),
    tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/command_data.txt, NEWS: add w to contain_plain_text.
    
    * tp/Texinfo/Common.pm (%variadic_commands),
    tp/Texinfo/ParserNonXS.pm: use the %variadic_commands hash for
    variadic commands instead of setting %commands_args_number to
    variadic.

Iʼm allergic to Perl, so Iʼm not going to attempt a patch :-)
