FWIW, it's due to this change

2008-06-15  Juri Linkov  <juri <at> jurta.org>

	* info.el (Info-toc): Call Info-toc-nodes instead of Info-build-toc.
	(Info-toc, Info-insert-toc): Increment nth's index to add PARENT
	as the second element.
	(Info-build-toc): Add PARENT element extracted from the Up pointer.
	Don't print progress messages.
	(Info-toc-nodes): New variable and function.
	(Info-index-nodes): Optimize non-string file name case.
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	
Juri, please have a look.
