FWIW here are the results I got:

This is test.info, produced by makeinfo version 6.0dev from
lowersections.texi.

1 Foo
-----

Bar

and

This is lowersections.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.13 from
lowersections.texi.

0.0.1 Foo
---------

Bar

Ignoring the numbering of the section, @section and @heading are
supposed to have the same heading level, but in the newer version they
are different. I agree that this is a bug.
