It seems to break something(s).  Now I get the following errors:

as.texinfo:2935: @item while not in a list environment
as.texinfo:2944: @item while not in a list environment
as.texinfo:2951: @item while not in a list environment

These lines in the source are preceded by something like:

@table @strong
@ifset true-variable
@item named sections
@end ifset
@ifset false-variable
@itemx text section
@end ifset
Item description here.

If I comment out the second conditional, those particular error  
messages go away, but there are more.  I'm having a very hard time  
pinpointing the conditions that cause the remaining errors, but many  
of them appear to involve @ifset/@ifclear inside of @menu.  The  
behavior is strange, though.  For example, there is a menu with 2  
entries outside of conditionals followed by 2 entries that are  
ignored because they are inside @ifset; if I add a 3rd  conditional  
entry guarded by an "false" @ifset, then it dies with:

as.texinfo:3424: This command can appear only in environment @menu,  
not out of any environment
as.texinfo:3424: Extra @endgroup

(where line 3424 has "@end menu").

Hopefully that is useful feedback and will at least give you a clue  
of what is going wrong.  If not, I do some work on narrowing it down  
later.
