The indices go to the right place and they update the entries, but the
index text is wrong now: for example, in the Texinfo manual, type in
"author" and there is nothing, but type in "@title" and
"@title @subtitle @author" is suggested, because there is an
index entry with that node as its target.

Not essential as most manuals and index entries don't use subentries.  I'm
not going to commit a change to the table formatting on the release
branch as this is not an essential change.
