If I understand this thread correctly, this was a bug in texinfo, and
not in Emacs.  I'm therefore closing the Emacs bug report now.

If this conclusion is incorrect, please reply to this email (use "Reply

According to the W3C internationalization activity, the character encoding declaration must be fully included in the first 1024 bits of the HTML page:

https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations

The current declaration falls short of that by about 30 bits because of the 871 characters long comment describing the contents to the file which could be put right after the declaration.
