Subject: info on non-existent node shows raw info buffer
Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:54:38 -0500

Package: emacs
Version: 24.3

(info "(emacs)Node That Does Not Exist")

This dumps you in a raw, unformatted info buffer, which is not very
friendly. I think it should format the info buffer as normal, go to the
start, and only then return

user-error: No such node or anchor: Node That Does Not Exist
