What you write inside @math is basically plain TeX.  And in plain TeX,
you can't use text accents in math mode.  Moreover, typesetting
multi-letter variable names in math mode will result in incorrect
kerning and lack of ligatures.  You should switch to text mode for
this:

  \input texinfo
  @setfilename mathaccents.info
  @settitle Math accents
  @documentencoding UTF-8

  blablabla @math{\hbox{\it alteración} > 0} blablabla
