Dealing with sectioning and nodes in Texinfo files is one of the most
annoying things. It seemingly complains without apparent errors. And
there are no good ways for debugging. Whatever.
I fiddled with other stuff in doc/faq.texi and doc/todo.texi so long
that I didn't even try to use @raisesections without that hack. Now
that you mention it I did and for me it actually works. With the
following change doc/todo.texi compiles fine:

An analogous change in preview/doc/faq.texi and compiling it with
`makeinfo -D rawfile --no-headers faq.texi --output ../FAQ' works fine
as well.
$ makeinfo --version
