The installed file /usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex is loaded when processing the queueing.tex file (see above). The problem disappears when the latest upstream version of texinfo.tex (2025-10-25.20) is used. It is available at the upstream Git repository.[1] FWIW, the version of texlive-base installed in my sid system is 2025.20250927-4.
