The line in `list-buffers’ refers to the file, as follows:

: %  emacs-lisp-intro....  765330 Texinfo          /Volumes/2018-s/Sources/GNU/emacs/doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi

if I close the file then see the [(Dired by name)] view of lispintro directory and press `v’ for view over the file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi’ it has [(Texinfo View)] and I use `s-l’ for goto-line 823 and this time only 1 of 6 lines is italicized.

Note, however, if I search down for the leading line to the paragraph instead of goto-line then the whole paragraph is italicized as expected.

See:

Screenshot confirms Emacs 26.1 version and inadequate italicization.
