Refilling overrides texinfo commands

There are problems with refilling as currently implemented and it
seems impossible to get around these problems, unless Emacs would
start operating directly on the Texinfo source files rather than on
the info files.  (Or if Emacs would give up on its refilling
attempts.)

The problem is that refilling seems to completely undo the
functionality described in (texinfo)Breaks.

Example:

===File ~/refillbug.texi====================================
\input texinfo    @c -*-texinfo-*-
@comment %**start of header
@setfilename refillbug.info
@settitle Refilling Bug
@comment %**end of header

@node Top
@top Only Node

@xref{makeinfo advantages,,,texinfo}, where is written:@*
@code{makeinfo} is a C program that is independent of Emacs.

@bye
============================================================

Which yields the following Info file:

===File ~/refillbug.info====================================
This is refillbug.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.6 from
/home/teirllm/info/refillbug.texi.


File: refillbug.info,  Node: Top,  Up: (dir)

Only Node
*********

*Note makeinfo advantages: (texinfo)makeinfo advantages, where is
written:
`makeinfo' is a C program that is independent of Emacs.



Tag Table:
Node: Top98

End Tag Table
============================================================

THe stand-alone Info reader respects the @*, the current Emacs CVS
does not.

Sincerely,

Luc.
