I've noticed the same. I use this approach to insert an image to work around it:

@ifhtml
@image{ieproxyconf}
@end ifhtml
@iftex
@address@hidden@undefined
@image{ieproxyconf}
@else
@pdfimage{ieproxyconf.png}
@fi
@end iftex

I haven't taken the trouble to upgrade texinfo or PDFTeX. My versions are:
pdfTeX:  (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d
TeXinfo: 1999-03-26.17

Good Luck,
