The period is never hidden in the Emacs Info reader, whereas :: is hidden.

The difference is in Info files produced by makeinfo.  When a Texinfo
source file has

    (@pxref{Registers,,, gdb, The GNU debugger})

then makeinfo produces in the Info output file:

    (*note Registers: (gdb)Registers.)

where the point is not hidden by the Emacs Info reader, but

    (@pxref{Registers})

produces in the Info output file:

    (*note Registers::)

where :: is hidden.
