Even though all three of them are in the middle of the line (in
Texinfo), they end up split in Info, unless wrapped in @w{}.

Yes, that's the issue: the Texinfo source doesn't seem to be useful in
determining which occurences are safe from splitting (which seemed to be
what you were saying in

The only way to know is checking the Info output, barred maybe some
exceptional cases like single-line paragraphs.
