The fact that quite a bit of text appears apparently
out of nowhere when yanking, printing or writing to a file can be very
confusing to people (I still quite often get surprised by it and I can
only imagine how confusing it can be for less experienced users).
Copying text from an Info file is not a beginner activity.
Printing one is something a beginner might do, from confusion,
but it is not normal beginning use of Info.
It is a mistake to document obscure potentially-confusing usages
so early in the documentation for beginners.
So I believe it should be moved to an intermediate or advanced
section.
