Your patch is a cure for the symptom instead of the disease.

The problem is that the node `Index' of the the w3m manual is recognized
as an index node (but actually it is a normal node with a menu that has
references to index nodes) because it has the word `Index' in the node
name and does not support index cookies (because it is generated by
`texinfmt.el', not by `makeinfo').
