Thank you for reporting this; I've committed both of these changes under 
your name. 

rawtext still doesn't work. Sample output:

$ ./texi2any.pl -c TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=rawtext ../doc/info-stnd.texi
Can't locate object method "gdt" via package "Texinfo::Convert::Text" at 
../tp/Texinfo/Common.pm line 1254.

I haven't looked into why.
