Something strange is going on here: this problem should not exist with
Texinfo 4.0. Older versions (3.12, I think) had a bug that could cause
this.
If you look into texinfo.txi, you will see that there is a @top command
on line 135. It is conditioned on @ifnottex, though, so if on your
system this somehow does not work, you could see this problem. Texinfo
3.12 had a bug in handling @ifnottex that would cause such failures. I'm
puzzled how could this happen to you, since your report clearly shows
that Make runs the version of `makeinfo' from the distribution of Texinfo
4.0. Very strange...
