It appears to be fixed with the following:

diff --git a/doc/texinfo.tex b/doc/texinfo.tex

This means that when the fraction of the \hsize is calculated any
existing indent will not be included.  I'm going to commit this change
but have only tested it with the file you sent so it would be good
if you could test it with other input.
