In some cases, `texinfo-format-buffer' doesn't fold long lines.

Yes, the inclusion of "itemize\\|" tells Emacs not to refill lines in
an itemized list.
I have commented out that inclusion and committed the change.
So `texinfo-format-buffer' should work again as you expect.
As I wrote at the time I included it
... I don't think this fix should be used as is.
Evidentally, back in November 2001, a user in FSF India could not
format the then new edition of `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' using
`texinfo-format-buffer' because `texinfmt.el' created the bad line

He was using a Microsoft operating system and thought (erroneously,
according to Eli Zaretskii) that `makeinfo' had not yet been ported.
That is why he was using the deprecated `texinfo-format-buffer'
command.
In any event, I completely forgot about it.
You write that
... texinfmt is essential to format Japanese Info files.
What needs to be changed for `makeinfo' to format them?
As Eli wrote back then,
I'd rather advise that users to use makeinfo. texinfmt.el doesn't
support quite a few of the newer features ...
We should modify `makeinfo' to handle Japanese Texinfo, if need be.
`makeinfo' is faster and `texinfmt.el' was deprecated a long time ago.
