It does inside text, but not in PDF bookmarks pane/panel.

"texi2pdf --tidy emacs.texi", but it doesn't matter, because the
problem is in the official Emacs manual PDF as well.

The easiest way to see it:
Open https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/pdf/emacs.pdf e.g. in
Firefox, then look at bookmarks on the left, "Killing and Moving Text"
---> "'Cut and Paste' Operations on Graphical Displays".  You'll see
something like ``Cut and Paste" in the bookmarks panel.
