Sorry if I hasn't been clear, but I meant the CC: to 'texinfo-devel' just
as an "FYI" to you, not a bug report (otherwise I'd have written to
bug-texinfo ;-).  I thought you might be interested in seeing how your
improved diagnostic behaves "in the wild".

I don't think so; the debbugs software should be smart enough to realize that
you're answering to a massage that has already opened a bug report, and it
should thus avoid to open a new bug report.  I might be wrong on this, though,
and I don't feel inclined to experiment right now.

Done.

Subject: [PATCH] doc: fix errors and warnings with Texinfo 5
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:04:19 +0200

Or rather, with the development version 4.13.90, which will eventually
become Texinfo 5.0.

Fixes coreutils bug#11828.

* doc/coreutils.texi: Use '@item' instead of '@itemx' in several places,
as Texinfo 5 refuses to process an '@itemx' that is not preceded by an
'@item'.  Ensure that node extended names in menus and sectioning are
consistent, and that ordering and presence of nodes in menus and in the
actual text are consistent as well.
