Thanks, fixed.

The Info browser was unable to get the information about the index cookie
support, so it treated it as a non-cookie file, and the temporary value of
Info-point-loc (set by navigation from the index node to the defined line
number) mislead into skipping a list of index nodes in the Top node.
